.Please place his bedding 🛏outside, along with the owner's unwashed clothing👚👖 front and back door 🚪with a can of tuna 🐟 on each entrance, you can leave your garage door a bit open as well. In case it comes in that way. And leaving food there as well...supervise food outdoors. Also vacuumed home 🧹dirt in a stocking hanging it in front and back of home🏡 enterence . You can also add some catnip 🌱in a stocking hanging by your entrances. Show your neighbo🖼picture of the cat. Ten houses to the left ten house to the right front and back if they spot him to give you a call☎️ immediately. Go early in the ☀️morning and shake treats calling the cats name when things are quiet.. Tell neighbors to check their sheds and garage.Just in case it's trapped.. Also, you can install a camera 📹to monitor and see if the cat is around your house . Best of luck 🍀finding your kitty 🙏 ❤️🏡🐾

They tend to stay  close to home and hide. Very well. They’ll come out after dark  in search of food. Put their dirty litterbox out by your front door and water, their cat bed if dry or if you can protect from getting wet if rains, go out with a flashlight and look in bushes and under decks (their eyes reflect the light and will hone), after dark use a fishy smelling food like canned sardines to help lure back. And be on the watch after dark and into middle of night for them. Mine cam back at 2 am for sardines. Wit he watch for them k saving front door open and sitting inside or doorbell camera to see if they are coming back to eat. Possibly get a live trap
