Scatter the contents of your hoover bag around the outside boundary of your home - they can scent their way home from miles away, using the familiar smell of your home. If putting out clothing make sure that it hasn’t been washed so that it smells of “you”. Going out late at night/ early morning when it is quieter and less noise distraction around will make it easier for you to hear each other’s calls. If you are calling for him make sure you do this as you walk towards your home not away from it so that if he follows the direction of your voice you’re leading him home, not further away. Also ask any neighbours to check their sheds/ outbuildings in case he’s been inquisitive and got trapped inside somewhere. If he is an indoor cat he is likely scared and hiding somewhere very close by - look under/behind any items/objects that he may be seeking shelter from - under bushes, behind bins etc. when searching at night take a torch - the light from its beam will reflect in his eyes and you will be able to spot him even if he doesn’t respond to your calls. Put up posters in all surrounding streets and inform the microchip company that he is missing. Really hope you find him soon.

Here are some things to try. Indoor cats do not go far and hide down low and close by. Scared/Spooked cats also usually hide close by so call throughout the night from dusk to dawn shaking treats as cats will often try to return home between 1am - 4am. Knock on all the doors in the area asking people to check their gardens/under bushes/sheds/garages. If no joy then print posters to out through doors with photo on and asking people to check their gardens/outbuildings as not everyone is on social media so some folk wont know to check and cats may be hiding or stuck in somewhere. I hope your cat is home asap 🙏
