Just an fyi do not continue to trim your cats whiskers in the future. It is a part of their balance and sensory for whether they can fit through a space. I know it wasn't you, I'm just letting you know for the future and I hope you find your kitty soon.

** Time is of the essence, for finding your lost cat. ** Your cat is probably nearby. Indoor cats usually find a hiding spot very quickly, and very close to where they escaped. Look up in the trees, and check under everything in YOUR YARD first… under decks, bushes, wood piles and sheds. Then check your neighbors yards. The best time to find your cat is at night, with a flashlight, when their eyes glow back at you. ***If your cat is scared, it will not respond to you calling him/her, so you'll have to use your eyes instead of your ears. *** ***When inside cats are suddenly outside, they can go into "survival mode,” and their entire personality changes.*** They, generally, will NOT wander. At least, not at first. (Unless they are not neutered/spayed.) Make sure to leave food and fresh water outside, in case they come out of hiding at night. Canned tuna (packed in oil) is nice and smelly. Also, a piece of your "worn" clothing, with your scent on it left outside, along with their bedding, with their scent on it, will definitely help. And, if you have a container or bag of treats that they really like.. shake it outside for your cat to hear. Also, leave your garage door or a window open a few inches in case it comes back at night. (5-7 inches.) [A special consideration in the cold weather, is to please CHECK UNDER THE HOOD of your vehicle! Oftentimes, a cat, especially an indoor only one, will seek out shelter or warmth in the engine area of your car. Do not start your vehicle, until you’ve checked! It is oftentimes fatal to your feline!] Hoping you find your cat very soon! ♥️ MS🐈

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a basement window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck.

Since he is a little kitten, try putting a small dish of nice smelly soft food in the back of the trap, put a few pieces in front to lure him back and sit quietly nearby, holding the door open to see if he will go in and eat. Gently shut the door when does. Try this and don’t actually set the trap, just hold the door up yourself. You can put a sheet of newspaper, cardboard or a puppy pad on the floor of the cage. If you’ve been leaving food out and it’s being eaten, don’t leave food out before the time you want to trap him as you want him to be hungry. Have a sheet or large towel handy to cover the entire trap as soon as he goes in it as it calms them down right away. Never leave it outside or set open when you are not right there to keep an eye on it and can see when he goes in it. PAWS, 7282 N Cherryvale Mall Dr, has traps you can rent for a $25 refundable fee. I think they only take cash. They are open M &T 11-3, closed Wed & Sun, Th-Sat 11-3. 815-299-7297. Farm and Fleet has Havahart traps that are pretty good. The really cheap ones from Harbor Freight may not work very well. Tomahawk (livetrap.com) makes excellent traps. Order directly from them. Or use a carrier. Put his food in the back, leave the door open and close it when he goes in it.
