My cat comes from two home cats. With English shorthair father and Russian blue mother. I live in an apartment and he enjoys walking through the corridor and sniffing everything.



The problem i have is that sometimes he wanders to another floor and goes at the wrong door there. (Same location to mine vertically).



I can pick him up and bring him back with relative ease but he gets extremely stressed during the process and i can feel his heart thumping rapidly.



How can I teach my cat to navigate between the floors and return home on his own?

          This is hard to answer,I think you will have to do some experiments.



          If your cat have a toy or object he likes you might try to put this outside your door so he can smell his own scent to make him recognize he is at his home.



          Cats in general do know their area by sight and by scent,there is many examples of cats living in an multi apartment building and not having any problems in finding the right door to where they live.



          I think one of the things you need to do is to visit the vet to see if your cat have any problems smelling or if it might have eye problems,This is to be sure it is not a physical problem of your cat.



          If nothing physical is wrong with your cat you can try to mark your apartment by putting up a visual marker and/or a scent marker for your cat outside your door to help him locate his home,This object can be to simply move the wellcome mat from inside to outside your door or it can be to hang one of your cats toys on the door so he can reach and smell it.
