Crack your garage a slight bit and will likely try to come home early morning when its quiet. Informative video on how to find your missing cat. https://www.facebook.com/374756619256467/posts/2701302119935227/

So sorry kitty is missing. My indoor only cat got out during construction and was missing for a week. Post on Next Door. If chipped, report missing to the chip company and ensure they have up to date contact info for you. File a missing report with the shelter online. I read indoor cats usually only stray 5-10 houses so I went door to door in a radius around my house and asked neighbors if I could search their backyards and under sheds. I also handed them a flyer. I walked around at night calling my cat and shining a flashlight in bushes to try to spot eyes. I cracked my garage slightly and put a lot of dirty laundry i.e. dirty sheets and blankets which helps with a scent trail. A neighbor spotted my cat in the storm drain closest to my house. I never thought to look there. It took 3 days after knowing she was in there until she came out. I do not have Ring, so I bought cheap motion sensor cameras and set them up at both doors that sent motion alerts to my phone.Good tips here: www.catsinthebag.org Paws crossed you are reunited soon.

I’m so sorry that Smokey is missing. He’s very handsome. Try these tips to get him back. Open your garage door just enough for him to go under. Put food, water and some unwashed clothing or bedding in there for familiar scent. Cats can smell a lot better than humans. Then walk your neighborhood looking for him. Carry and open can of catfood or tuna he might smell. Call his name. Then make flyers with his picture and your number and tape to all neighbors front doors in all directions. If he’s chipped call the chip company and make sure your info is direct. Make a missing pet report with the nearest shelter. May be easier to find him after dark when it’s quiet. He may be scared and hiding. Take a flashlight and shine under and behind everything. Good luck. May you find him by tonight.
