As we adventure with our cats outside, there is always the risk they may slip out of their harness. We of course hope our cats won’t ever get lost, but it’s best to be educated and prepared for those emergency situations. There are many common myths and old wives’ tales about what you should do if your cat gets lost, and many of them do more harm than good.
In this episode, I chat with Kimberley Freeman, The Lost Cat Finder, all about finding lost cats and how to prevent your cat from getting lost. She dispels common myths and shares about lost cat psychology so you can be armed with the knowledge you need should your cat ever slip out of their harness or out of the house.
The most important thing is don’t chase your cat! If you’re in a situation, you see your cat shoot out the door, you see your cat jump out of the car…chasing the cat always makes it worse. Try to reign in that human instinct to pursue and grab.
