My other cat seldom would go home..am worried

I only had one cat that went outside. He stayed with me on the porch though and rarely stayed out for long. He wouldn't go out if it were cold or rainy. I was glad he was like that. I would have been VERY worried if he was out a long time, or missing. He was fixed, and that seemed to have a lot to do with it. Try that and see if it changes him at all.

I think your cat may go out to find his gals. My mom's cat used to be like yours, and nothing can keep him at home also. Cat and dog may find food outside, then don't worry so much about him. He will be back home at daytime. If you don't want he goes out anymore, just keep him in his own house, but he may sound a lots...^^

Keep taking care of your cat as long as you can, but if you really cannot take care of the cat, then turn the cat over to someone who can take care of him.

dear Martin, I also have same problem with my male cat super layas (duh) I have male and female cats, but my male cat always roam around. Unlike our female cat that stays at home, a homebody one (lols) Or, it is same with guys- they love to roam around -hehehe :p

All of my cats come and go as they please through the cat door. My top cat, Sandy, does not like kittens. So, he will live outside until all of the kittens are gone, or grown up. He just comes home to eat.

I hope that he isn't eating spoiled food outside, that will make him very ill and possibly die. Perhaps he is afraid of the dogs, too. I'm not sure what to do, I had a cat like that too who liked to be out and there was no way to keep him in as he knew how to get his way. He was neutered also and still sprayed in the house. Perhaps you can try to move the dogs somewhere where they can't see the cat coming home? I'm not sure, I would think the cat is not neutered and is gone looking for some females so maybe if you had him fixed as we say here (neutered) by a vet he would be more at ease coming home more often.

One of ours is like that. He patrols our yard and the neighbors and rarely comes in the house. He is just not the indoor cat type. They all have personalities just like people and some just do not like to be captive ion a home. Try feeding him outside a little bit each day so he comes at least home most days. entice him in the house when the dogs are outside to make him feel a little more at ease there.

There has to be a reason why your cat is leaving often. A male cat can go out looking for mates and can come back after a few days or never come back. Often than not, cats do not leave the house especially if they are well fed. Find out why your cat prefers out there than your house.
