Does the cat recognize the way home? How does the cat find its way home? Whenever we take the cat out for a walk, in order to prevent it from wandering around and disappearing, it will also Lead it with a chain. Some well-trained cats don't have to be so troublesome. When the owner calls the name, it will come back obediently. But if your cat is naughty, using a chain is also a very helpless method. However, sometimes you have to face some unexpected situations, such as your cat is suddenly very excited today, opens the door, and faces the cat before you can put it on. He ran out of the door and disappeared for a while. At this time, the owner is often anxious and at a loss, will my cat come back?
Compared to cats, we know that dogs have a strong ability to know the way, which is also innate, you will often see it outside , dogs will pee under a telephone pole or under a tree, and then keep sniffing with their noses. This is a good way for them to find their way. So, do cats also have this ability?
Recently, a netizen in Hangzhou posted a post saying that the cat that he had lost for two years had come back. Road skills, while abroad. The ability of a cat is even more amazing. This is a pet cat in the UK. When the owner is not at home, it goes out to the street alone, and then takes the regular bus several times.
This amazing ability of cats is related to the animal's biological sense of time, the biological clock in its body. If the cat leaves the home or the living area, the biological clock in the cat's body and the position of the sun will deviate from the original place, but the biological clock in the cat's body will temporarily maintain the position of the sun at this moment in the original place. If the cat moves in a direction that can correct this deviation, it will be able to find its original home. Facts have proved that if the cat is within a radius of about 12 kilometers from home, it can generally find its way home. If the distance exceeds this range, the cat is likely to get lost. Once the cat walks near the home, it can smell the familiar smell of home through its sensitive sense of smell, so as to find the exact location and floor of the home in the steel forest of the city. When a cat stays at home for a long time, it has an intangible impression of the smell of the home, the environment, the owner's voice, etc. When a cat gets lost, it will find its way home according to its own judgment.
For cats and other animals, the biological clock is an essential ability for their survival in nature. The ancestors of cats and other animals used the position of the sun to determine when to do what, when to go out to hunt to catch prey, when to go out to meet predators, and so on. Today's pet cats don't need to hunt anymore, but their lives are also regular. They can remember what time their owners get up and when they get off work, which is all related to the biological clock.
Of course, this skill is not possessed by every cat, and there are not a few cats that we usually see lost. , so we still need to guide the cat slowly in terms of recognizing the way, for example, let him be more familiar with the things at home and around, and secondly, if the cat is unhappy in an environment, when it runs away from home, it is very Maybe it won't be coming back. Therefore, the best way to prevent cats from running away and not coming back is to take good care of cats and give them a comfortable environment, where they can eat, drink, play and sleep. The cats are naturally reluctant to leave, and even if they get lost, they will come back. In addition, cats should be sterilized when they reach the appropriate age, so as to avoid the phenomenon of running away due to estrus.
