I definitely believe that's true. My cat before this one was a 14 y/o female that never wandered when she got out. She would take 2 steps out of the door lay down, and when she was ready, take the 2 steps back inside. One Sunday around dinner time I was taking bulk item to the curb and had the door open. I have no clue when she got out or what happened to her. My hope is that she went around the corner and someone picked her up and kept her. If a stranger called her, she didn't hesitate to run over and let them pick her up, walk with her, or whatever. She just loved the affection.
So when I got this kitty, I don't even let her get any ideas about going outside. She used to try to run out, but now she'll just sit at the door. She's pretty happy being inside next to an open window.
