Ramani Kothadia Thank you Ramani for your encouraging reply! Posted on several sights for lost Scooter, talk to neighbors as I do my walks around neighborhood calling for her!

Thank you for your caring response! Yes I have done all that and walking the neighborhood multiple times calling out her name! I am really praying for a successful result! I have had couple of my cats get caught in a garage that closed on them without people knowing!

Please read the advice shared on the Missing Animal Response Network. They have a page specific to lost cat behavior. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ If you have not already, visit neighboring homes and ask them to look into their garages and outbuildings, checking multiple times while sitting patiently, and quietly. Cats get scared when in strange places and won't necessarily bolt for the door when it is opened, and might not even run to a familiar person if they happen to be present. Also, post flyers - don't rely upon everyone having access to on-line posts. Check every logical and illogical place your cat may have gotten into on your property, to name just a couple: cabinets/drawers — high and low; in garages/bats/sheds. Don’t forget to check in with local vets and animal shelters. Some have had success with placing a humane trap in their backyard - luring kitty in with a serving of their regular food; also with leaving clothing/blankets with your and/or their scent. Finally, for any reading this, please keep a bowl of water (ideally freshened every 2-3 days) in your garages/outbuildings for those instances when a neighborhood critter happens to find themselves trapped. Good luck, I hope to read a positive update on Scooter soon!

Hope you are reunited soon. 🙏🏻 Kindly do extensive physical search of hiding places in and around your house. Things that can help: getting help from neighbors, asking them to check hiding places in their homes and around, posting flyers, checking local shelters in case someone finds your cat and takes them there, and putting up cameras to monitor in case cat returns.
