Lure a Lost Cat Home With a Used Litter Box
If you’ve ever had to run a cat and run away from home, you know how frustrating it can be . Aside from hanging signs and talking to neighbors, there are several tricks to lure your cat home. For example, try putting a trash bin outside.
This advice comes via Reddit, and a number of animal rescue groups recommend it as well. For example, the SPCA of Northern Virginia explains :
Place food and water outside near the escape site or near a good hideout nearby. Use canned cat food that has a strong odor that your cat can sense from a distance so your cat knows where to go for food. Also, put the litter box and any bedding that smells like a cat outside to attract the cat back into the house.
PetMD confirms this, adding that a dirty toilet path can help lure a cat home, as it is a pleasant and familiar smell. It would be an oversight not to remind pet owners that it is important to microchip them too. Additional tips on how to find your lost cat can be found in the post link below.
