Sit something out with your scent(dirty laundry or bedding) or your cat scent by the area they escape from and check frequently if possible leave window/door open, or if you have a baby monitor sit by the area
There are controversies on the litter box placed out, some say they could draw in the stray and ferals in that neighborhood because they are territorial and if your cat comes out they could chase your cat away. They do not like new cats in their territory.
Best time to look would be from dusk to Dawn, cat is going to be scared, If indoor only cat, they are usually very close or a few houses away, they're going to wait till it's quiet to move about, they might not even meow, so take a flashlight out to look for glowing eyes and a CALMLY VOICE(they will pick up tension/ panic in your voice)
(whatever you do at home to get them to come to you do that outside , recorded it if you have too and play it outside)
check under sheds, decks, bushes, roof tops and trees ask neighbors to check their security cameras, sheds, garages, and/or ask for permission to check their property. Indoor cats will most likely be on your property or two houses away
With weather being cold, cats could climb in a vehicle's engine compartment for warmth and shelter and accidentally get transported elsewhere
If you have other pets, a dog may be able to sniff out the cat, and if you have another cat, put that cat in the carrier then take outside and sit the carrier on step/porch while you walk around your property.
They may be in fight or flight mode and may need to be trapped.
good luck and God bless 🐾🙏🐾Read More
