Retrieve your kitten: A clever trick to get you back with it!
Have you ever had this experience: the cute kitten suddenly disappeared, and your heart was filled with anxiety and expectation? Today, let’s discuss how to get the run away kitten back to you.
What we need to understand is that cats are independent animals, and they have their own ways of thinking and behaving. Sometimes, they choose to leave their homes to find new territory or partners. So, what should we do in this case?
1. Call its name
Try calling the kitten's name! Calling its name tenderly and affectionately will make it feel at ease and comfortable. If you often call its name, then it may respond to your call.
2. Use food to tempt
What kittens love to eat the most is food! You can try to tempt it home with its favorite food. For example, put grilled fish or catnip at the door of your house and let the kitten come back with the scent.
3. Using sound to attract
sound is a good way to attract kittens. You can try to use the sound or music your kitten likes to attract it home. For example, some gentle music or children's songs, these sounds will make the kitten feel comfortable and at ease.
4. Make a simple catcher
If your kitten runs away from home often, then you can consider making a simple catcher. This catcher can be made from a cage or a bag with the kitten's favorite food or toys. Then, put the catcher at the door of the house and wait for the kitten to walk in by itself.
5. Looking for professional help
If you have tried the above method but the kitten is still not back, then you can consider looking for professional help. For example, some professional pet detectives or animal behavior experts can help you find the kitten and guide it home.
6. Consider its psychological needs
Sometimes, the kitten may run away because it feels lonely or uneasy. In this case, you might consider finding a partner for the kitten and let them accompany each other. This not only meets the kitten's psychological needs, but also reduces the probability of it running away from home.
7. Sterilization and vaccination
If your kitten has not been sterilized or vaccinated, then you may consider taking it to a pet hospital for sterilization and vaccination. This can reduce the probability of kittens running away from home due to estrus or illness. It can also make the kitten live by you healthier and happier.
8. Making a cat hunting notice
cat hunting notice is a good way to find kittens. You can create a cat hunt notice containing the kitten’s photos, names, features, and contact information, and post it on the community bulletin board or on social media. This will allow more people to help you find kittens and increase the probability of retrieval. At the same time, it can also remind people to pay attention to protecting animals and caring for stray cats.
9. Stay patient and confidence
Finding kittens is a process that requires patience and confidence. Sometimes it may take some time and effort to find your kitten. But please believe that as long as you don’t give up on searching and keep your patience and confidence, you will definitely find your kitten.
10. Giving it a safe home is very important to give a kitten a safe home. You can consider installing a camera at your doorstep so that you can observe the kitten's situation at any time. At the same time, you can also prepare some food and toys that kittens like at home to make it feel warm and comfortable when you return home.
The above are some methods and suggestions for finding kittens. Hope these help you find your kitten and get it back to you. Also remember that each cat has its own personality and behavioral habits, so you need to make a recovery plan that suits it based on the characteristics of your own cat. Finally, I wish you and the kitten a good reunion!
