William McNally Please everyone -- don't turn my search for my lost loved DOG into a forum for an argument about something unrelated. This is hurtful and unnecessary

William McNally https://katalbrecht.com/lost-pet-tips/dirty-kitty-litter-a-questionable-cause-fallacy/ Dirty Kitty Litter : A Questionable Cause Fallacy posted on May 25, 2021 What do talking to stray cats, urinating into a cup, and spreading dirty kitty litter all have in common? All three are methods that cat owners have falsely been told will help to bring their lost cat back home. But how do we know these methods are false or ineffective, especially when so many people have used these methods and their cats have returned home? The answer is found in, of all things, science! First, We Need To Look At The History Of Lost Cat Behavior. Cat Hiding Prior to 1998, there was nothing on the Internet about lost cat behaviors. I know that because I began to study the topic back then and there were no hits on Google. I was inspired to research “lost cat behaviors” back then because at the time I was aware that much had already been studied about “lost person behaviors.” By examining the distances that certain categories of people (i.e. hunters, berry pickers, backpackers) travel when lost, search managers are now able to predict the distance people will travel and dispatch search teams accordingly, thus increasing the probability of recovery. So in 1998, I began to study lost cat behavior. I looked at where they were found, their temperaments, the distances that they traveled, and the most successful recovery methods. This is how I discovered two of the most important behaviors: “The Silence Factor” and “The Threshold Factor.” Silence Factor The “Silence Factor” is the principle that when a cat is sick, injured, or panicked and afraid, it will hide in silence, often within its own territory. This is critical because, for so many years, cat owners have been told to expand their search for miles and miles when in fact, research has since proven that because of their territorial nature, cats do not travel very far when lost. What that means is they are more likely to be found either in your own yard (trapped, hiding in fear, deceased) or inside your neighbor’s yards than they are to be found 20 miles from your home. Threshold Factor The “Threshold Factor” is the principle that panicked cats (i.e. indoor-only cats that have escaped outside, outdoor-access cats that were scared by fireworks or beaten up by another cat) will hide in silence until they reach a certain threshold point. When the cat reaches his threshold, which sometimes is as short at several hours and as long as several weeks, he will finally break cover (and return to the door he escaped from), meow, or enter a baited humane trap if one has been set outside. A cat’s Threshold point likely has more to do with the cat’s temperament and his comfort level than it has to do with anything in the environment (i.e. food, kitty litter, etc.). A super skittish “feral-like” cat that escapes outside might take weeks to reach his threshold point and, in some cases, might never reach a threshold point to where he would willingly come home. On the other hand, a cat with a friendly temperament that escapes outside might respond and come back to the window he jumped out of within just a few hours or, more often, within a few days. In most cases, these cats never travel far but rather they are hiding near their escape point

Why are you trying to get cats killed? I already sent you the research on the used kitty litter with. I guess you want cats to be killed. Who's the link to the research again with the first few paragraphs included. https://katalbrecht.com/lost-pet-tips/dirty-kitty-litter-a-questionable-cause-fallacy/ Dirty Kitty Litter : A Questionable Cause Fallacy posted on May 25, 2021 What do talking to stray cats, urinating into a cup, and spreading dirty kitty litter all have in common?
