3 yrs. ago we rescued at sweet rust color Tiger strip cat who was 5 yrs at the time! He had been a street cat but was also abandoned when his owners moved! He fit in really nice & gets along with my other 2 cats. He’s very shy & submissive & he’s been coming along nicely! It’s just taking him a long time to get use to being a strictly house cats, which is what we want plus the Animal
rescue insisted on it, no problem!
But...he got out through a slightly open screen door went down the steps & under our deck! He couldn’t have been out for more than 4 or 5 minutes...I was almost right behind him! I got him back in, now
he’s pacing back & forth under the windows, scratching on the windows trying to get out again! Any one have this experience? Is this going to take another 3 yrs for him to settle down again? He wasn’t this bad when we got him but he did want out most of the time, which he didn’t get! This is the very first time I’ve ever had one of my cats even try to get out of the house!
I think I’m more upset than the cat is over this! Any suggestions?
Thank you all!!
