Sunday afternoon: Dexter is still missing. Des Plaines Illinois area, Unincorporated Maine Township. As Dexter's neighbors, we are doing everything we can to get the word out about him, searching the neighborhood, putting food out for him etc. Current picture added.

Go out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Also if you can leave a bat window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck

Be proactive. Cats that escape from indoors will most likely stay close by. They will go into hiding but come out at nighttime. Go out when it’s dark, or early morning around 5 am , use a flashlight and call out by name, look in bushes, under cars etc. Talk to your neighbors and get the flyers out , they are really helpful for those who won’t see your posts on the internet. Put out some clothing to attract the cat’s smell, if possible set up a Wi-Fi camera to monitor and if the cat comes- set a trap. The cat will try to find a food source so try setting up a food station and monitor. Report to your local police and if the cat is microchipped, make sure the info is up to date. I would also email or call shelters in case animal control picks it up. Check their websites daily as new cats come in all the time.
