How can I reduce this behaviour?
The story
My cat goes outdoors and a month ago his brother who lived three houses from ours passed away from a tragic accident with a car. So, I think it’s too risky for her to go out but sometimes she can’t help it. I was wondering how can I change this behaviour?

It's so tough dealing with that worry, right? 😕 I totally get your concern about letting your cat outside after what happened to her brother. Cats have such a natural curiosity and desire to roam but given the circumstances, keeping her indoors might be safer. Maybe try creating a stimulating indoor environment with lots of toys, climbing spaces, and cozy spots for her to hide in. You could also consider leash training her or building a safe outdoor enclosure where she can enjoy the fresh air without the danger. It’s definitely a balancing act between keeping them happy and safe!
