Have seen these great tips posted elsewhere - Early morning walk technique: There is a technique we call the 3am walk that has worked for a lot of people reunited with their pets. Displaced or scared cats will often remain in hiding and completely silent for most of the day and night. Even if it is close by and can hear you, it is unlikely your cat will respond. Because of this, the best time to head outside and call her/him is between 3-4am. It can vary between 2-6 am, whenever your area is most quiet. It may take a few nights of trying this method too. Most recently, a good number of people have found their cats just from doing a 3am walk and call. Your cat is most likely to respond and leave its hiding spot around this small window of quiet time. It only takes a couple of fence jumps to land streets away, so do your best to cover as many streets as you can. Hopefully your cat is only a house or two away from where it escaped. Tap a can calling your cats name or shacking the dry food bag/box calling their name and saying what you usually say to call them to dinner or breakfast time. Leaflets and knocking on doors: Its also a good idea to ask neighbours if you can check their yards, sheds, garages and roof spaces. If you can give them a printed leaflet with a picture of your lost cat and your phone number. Leave these at shops etc too. Leaving the Kitty tray outside: Some suggest to leave it out to attract your cat back home with the scent. Which may work, but it's important to understand that the kitty tray may attract other cats, especially Tom Cats that will see this as a threat to his territory. The kitty tray method is designed to try and give the lost cat a scent he/she is familiar with to come back home. So if you suspect strays are around, be careful you're not making it harder for yours to get home safely. If you want to try leaving the litter outside, please note that the tray shouldn't be left out for too long and needs to be watched over. Same with leaving food, bedding and clothing out. Indoor cats: Indoor escape artists usually stick close to home and we often see a great outcome because of this.....Expect your cat to remain in hiding for most of the day and night. Displacement often changes the behaviour of cats. This means a normally vocal cat may keep quiet. Timid cats especially may spend some weeks in hiding before becoming visible. Even then, they are not likely to be seen during daylight. It is also unlikely that your cat will respond to being called during daylight. As a result, many people mistakingly believe their cat is no longer close by. An inside cat won't have gone too far. Start on your own property with a torch (even in the daylight, yes) and look under your house (if it is on stumps/piles) under any decking, under all vehicles, in the wheel arches, under upturned wheelbarrows, piles of iron, roofing tiles, underneath any outbuildings, dog kennel, wood piles, under or behind a garden shed, wheelie bins, inside skip bins, shipping containers, car boots or under the car bonnet. Under all garden shrubbery along driveways and footpaths. And then do the same with your near neighbours. Don't ask your neighbours to look, 'cos they probably won't. Ask them if you can look in their yards. Don't forget over the back fence too. Take your cat carrier with you, so when you find puss, pop straight into the carrier, so he doesn't squirm out of your arms when carrying home. Don't forget to look up as well. If chased up a tree or on to a roof. Best of luck
