My one cat does and he has gotten hurt a couple of times when he manages to. He is seems to be very happy inside and my other cat is content to stay inside. But when anyone opens the door, he tries to get out. He will come right back in after several hours. He is fixed. I am started to get offended. lol.

I was joking about being offended.

Most cats have a natural instinct to be outside. Mine has always been curious about the outdoors but never tried to dart out! Try something like keeping a can of pennies beside the door, and when you walk in or out shake it. The noise will scare the cat and it eventually it will want to stay away from the door. Just give it a light shake, you dont want to make the cat a nervous wreck you just want to startle him away from the door!

We have 6 cats altogether. Three are indoor cats and that means they are the only ones that can come in and out all day long, but at 10 PM they must go out or be put out. There are no litter boxes in this house. Two cats are outdoor cats that we've adopted and they know they are never allowed in the house. And then there's this Ferrel cat that just checks everything out from afar. We live on a farm, so there's no worry of the cats going on other peoples property or running into the street. Occasionally though they have to deal with all the other critters in the neighborhood, like raccoons, skunks and coyotes.

Cats are not actual experienced, fantastically even as they love to do something badly. you are able to be very affected man or woman and smart than the cat! (LOL) A cat that age is type of a young person, very rebellious. i have had large luck with preserving my indoor cats interior only by technique of creating particular i understand the position they are after I open the door. once you're coming in, open the door barely sufficient to get your foot in it and prevent the cat that way. even as they see your foot of their face, they are going to stop. yet otherwise is to have someone on the different aspect of the door with a sprig gun to blast the cat contained in the face even as he sticks his head out the door. this may sound merciless, yet no longer as merciless as having your cat wander off or killed outside by technique of a vehicle or dogs. you are able to also attempt making a noisy noise like clapping your fingers and affirming "NO" or grab him as he is going out the door, say "NO" and aspect remote from the door. wish this enables.

I have two cats, one prefers to remain indoors and rarely ever goes outside and the other? Well lets just say he had won me over, he now has his wish and I have even went as far as having a milk door converted into a cat door just for him!

My male is fixed and yet still runs out the door too. Luckily he never goes far and he doesn't stay out for more then a couple minutes at a time. It's just the whole curiousity thing.

yes my cat used to always try and run outside every single time we opened the door one time she had to get stitches because she got in a fight with another cat. We had to get rid of her though i just figured out that im allergic to cats.

Put a spray bottle of water next to door where you can get it quickly when he breaks for the door close it quickly and spray him all the way out of the room hell soon get the idea not to be in that room let alone trying to break for the door

Cat's need grass to cough up hair in their belly's, and to get rid of any worms they might have. Try growing some grass in a tray, saw grass is what they need. Or pick it yourself, from a field. Must be the kind that is rough along the sides.

I work at a cattery and find that most outgoing cats (usually burmese and abbysinian) will try to escape into the corridor just for the challenge, they are usually happy to walk back in by themselves. It does get annoying sometimes though.

My cats do the opposite...they are afraid to go outside.
