Cats are curious by nature, and summertime makes it easier for them to sneak outside. Here's how to prevent your cat from getting lost — and what to do if they do slip away.![]()

Start with prevention:![]()
• Stick to a routine: Cats are creatures of habit and more likely to return if mealtimes are consistent.![]()
• Keep your cat indoors at night: This is when they’re more likely to roam or get into trouble.![]()
• Make sure they have ID: Even indoor-only cats should wear a breakaway collar with ID tags or be microchipped with current contact info. One open door or window is all it takes for them to slip out.![]()
