How to get her back again?


So my cat Willow still hasn't come back home since we got our new dog a couple weeks ago. She did come back in once, then hid under the bed and ran outside again first chance she got, she hasn't been back since. We live on a secluded farm, so I have no worries about her getting ran over or anything (and the cyotes don't come close enough to the farm to worry about ), and she eats mice and there's lots of water for her, but we miss her!!

A few times she's allowed me to get close enough to pet her, but for the most part she runs away when she sees us. This from the cat that used to be permanently stationed on my lap

Any tips on how to get her back home? Our other cat is doing great, and while he likes to hiss at the dog, they're getting along pretty good. The dog isn't all that interested in the cats. I don't need Willow to be friends with the dog, but I want her back.

Melissa22 is an unknown quantity at this point
Even though she can catch and eat mice, do you leave food out for her? Whenever my parents had "wild" cats living nearby (that needed homes!) they'd leave out food. Eventually the "wild" cats became not so wild!

Of course, your cat isn't wild, but if she's reluctant to come home, this may be one way of showing her that she's welcome!
