Hi, Ok I have a male cat he’s a Bombay, he’s about 4 maybe 5 years old so kinda middle aged in cat years! George wasn’t my cat originally, he belonged to a women who used to live near where one of my friends lives; George used to keep coming to my friends house and was always there when I visited. One day George’s owner came over to us and asked us if either one of us would like to keep George as he seems to like us so much. I love animals so I agreed to take him on.
His owner said she is out at work all day and her partner doesn’t like cats (I was all like, “yeah so dump the partner!”) That comment didn’t sit well with her at all. But anyways, so I live about ¾ of a mile away from this women. George at first settled down very well with me; then after eight months. all of a sudden he went missing. I then got a call from my friend who lives near the original owner of George, and she told me George is sitting outside the back door at her place! How he managed to find his way back through all the busy roads etc is beyond me. So I went back down there, fetched him back, then the same thing happened again two weeks later, so each time I got back and collect him, two weeks he stays back with me then disappears again!
So I then figured he must be missing his original owner, so I went to try and go and see her, to see maybe if she wanted him back, but she had moved away without leaving a forwarding address. My main concern obviously is George crossing those main roads, but I am at a loss of what to do, I took him to the vets who were very unhelpful and just said, “well that’s what cats do” That doesn’t help!!! I think George is doing this because that it is territory, like a male thing? He has been neutered which usually stops them wondering. I was wondering if anyone has any solutions. I have tried the Feliway cat pheromones. That didn’t really help. He is a very healthy cat otherwise. Any comments would be appreciated!
