Message from Owner

He is a large Maine Coon mix. He unfortunately is more curious than fearful. He is very friendly and indoor only. His curiosity causes him to want out to explore. He is deeply missed by his sister that was adopted with him at 4 weeks of age, by his canine brother/soul mate, and especially by his 11 year old human.

Damien Christopher we did all that immediately. I just got back from my evening walking search using the shaking sound of the treat can as I search. We also have left the hole in broken window somewhat open so he can come in the way he got out. Still hoping 🙏

The only way a lost cat can find its way home is with its nose. They have to use their sense of smell to get home again. Put anything outside that smells like their territory. Put the pajamas you slept in outside because you probably sweated in them. Put out their food your stinky socks your smelly sneakers anything you can think of that the cat will recognize by smell. Cats usually stay within a five house radius of their own home for up to a week or so sleeping in the bushes during the day and coming out at dusk and dawn. Those are good times to take a walk shaking the treat bag calling out but cats also tend to come out and walk around very late at night. Try to keep a door cracked if you can whether it's the garage or whatever or a window cracked so you can hear them if they call out for you. Put this on all of the neighborhood pages as well as lost and found pets sites. Knock on the neighbors doors and make sure they know you're looking for your cat. Good luck PS cats can smell up to one mile away from their own house. Absolutely no litterbox outside or food. It attracts predators is why. Never give up.

Try putting out his stinky litter box outside so he can smell his way home.
