Lost Indoor Cat in Boston: Complete Guide
Indoor cats that escape behave very differently from outdoor cats. They are terrified, disoriented, and usually hide within 50 metres of the escape point. If you've lost an indoor cat in Boston, time is critical — the first 72 hours give you the highest chance of recovery.
Key facts about lost indoor cats:
- 90% stay within 50 metres of where they escaped.
- They will not come when called — they're too scared.
- They hide under porches, in sheds, in bushes, and in garages.
- They are most active at dawn and dusk.
- Scent lures (litter box, worn clothing) are the most effective tool.
Post a lost cat alert immediately and mention "indoor cat" in the description so neighbours know to search nearby hiding spots.
