Hi, everyone... I already posted in r/cats but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to ask, so I'll try here as well:
At my parents' house, we had 3 semi-tame cats who stayed at and around the garage and were fed by my cat. They were all very beautiful, neat cats despite being somewhat wild, and the two youngest were tame enough to be pet, picked up and come pretty close to you if they thought you had food.
I moved out ~6 months ago, and my neighbours really wanted to adopt a cat so my dad offered one of his, underlining how much work it would take and what they'd need to do etc. to make it properly tame and have it stay indoors.
They, of course, didn't listen and after trying to put the cat outside once (after which it ran back inside) the neighbour decided that it didn't like it outside anyway, so they left the door open when taking out the trash and the first time it worked out.
I told them this was a horrible conclusion after one test and they said maybe I was right
- Despite that, they did the same thing tonight around 12 am and the cat ran out the door...
Despite not being an indoors cat it's very important to my family since we've pretty much raised it's grandparents, parents and it since it was a kitten. I was wondering what the odds are of finding it again?
Some threads online said it might go back to my dad's house, but I find that unlikely since we're close to a 45-minute car drive away, and I'm afraid that if it tries to find its way back, it'll get lost..
They put some food outside in a bowl in hopes that the cat might come back to eat again but I'm really anxious about the whole situation.
Do I just need to give up and see reason? Or is there hope still.
