The reason for your cat’s behavior is not that you don’t pay enough attention to it, you neglect its care, or you don’t miss its food and water.
Let’s find out why.
In fact, the answer to this question is hidden in ancient times.
Cats were very wild creatures before they became domesticated. So much so that these animals, derived from African wild cats, still carry their old hunting instincts.
Even though we take good care of our furry friends and provide them with a comfortable life at home, they are still very enthusiastic by nature to explore the outside world and seek adventure.
So, no matter what, cats cannot stop their desire to explore the outside.
In addition, the instincts of these creatures increase even more, especially during the mating period. Especially if they are not yet neutered, it is quite normal for them to have a lot of desire to escape outside. Because they may be exhibiting this behavior due to their reproductive instinct.
But cats cannot get rid of this desire to escape even when they are neutered. Because instincts such as exploration, territory marking and hunting continue to remain with them.
On the other hand, cats are creatures that manage to survive by hunting in nature.
However, even if the food bowls are full at home, their hunting instincts continue. Because they want to explore not only the world inside the house, but also the outside and find something to eat from there.
In other words, cats are eager to make the outside their territory, and escaping outside shows their desire to challenge other cats in the environment as well as marking their own territory. Again, this situation can be seen more frequently if the number of stray cats in the environment is high.
