Indoor only cats and cats with limited outdoor access go into “survival mode”. 3 AM is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Try to stay low, standing is intimidating to cats. Place some dirty socks and a pillow case or dirty sheets outside. Your scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for her to get in or back porch or where they escaped from. indoor only cats hide so well they are not as likely to be ed by a predator. Don't give up, it can take months to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars, sheds and in bushes. Look for their eyes to gleam brightly in the dark. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a methodical search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they snap out of survival mode, but this is a dangerous time because then they come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. In addition to posted flyers, make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Some people don't pay attention to posted flyers. It's VERY VERY important that you look for them as late at night as you can. If you have other cats, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. A lot of people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap closely, predators can a cat in a trap. Cover the trap with your dirty sheets or bath towels with your smell to attract them home. Put a can of tuna inside and the trap needs to be big enough that the door can close behind them once inside it so they can’t escape when done eating.
