We almost lost Blue today

I went outside for a few minutes with my mom. When we came back Blue was near the door. He meowed at the door after we entered the house. We closed the door and he insisted and meowed for a few minutes. I opened the door because I thought that something was behind the door. And Blue ran away. He is such a scared cat. When he was outside he stopped eating for 3 or 4 days. He lost weight because he was terrified to come back. He was so thin, he seemed a different cat. My mom called his name today and he started to panic. And he came back. But I opened the door and I wasn't aware that he meowed because he wanted to run away. One day he can run away and we will never see him again. This can happen.

@dya80dya My cat before this one was an indoor and outdoor cat. She would go out for hours and then come home. My present cat is a homebody6 and does not like it out there. I would say it traumatized her and she likes to be inside near her litter box and food.

He was an outdoor cat. Sometimes he misses being outside.

Well, I hope Blue does not run away and understand you only want the best for him, My two cats have never been outside and when I open the door and step out on my second-floor balcony they are curious as to what is there but also unsure to step put so that helped me a lot and neither one wants to dash outside,

Mine did the same and I trusted that they won't dash outside. I was wrong. Mine were all outdoor cats. We let the door open and they didn't even try to run away because they were scared of every noise.

Cats are curious by nature. We only have one, now. But, even still if we have to open the font door, we put our cat in another room. Most of the time he doesn't want to door dart, but they can. And, they can spook.

I hope that Blue is now safely home. Cats are very curious, as you open a door they run away to explore the world.

@dya80dya Poor Blue, he would love to explore but he gets scared.

Before we let the door open and he didn't have any interest in leaving. But now we have to be very careful. When he runs away he is so scared that he doesn't recognize us.

Our cats leave us despite all the love and care.

Yes. I think that they love their food more than they love us.

That's terrible. I am always afraid of this with my four cats. My mother refuses for us to microchip the cats.

He was an outdoor cat. Now he stays indoors. I tried to go outside with him using a leash. He escaped, was so scared, and disappeared for 4 days. He lived on the streets before.
