Sheryl, thank you for your expert advice! Other than shelter, we did everything. Wished he would not go far yet. Will start checking on them.

My personal experience has been first securing other cats in another closed-off room, dimming/turning off most or all inside/outside lights and β€” if safe to do so and should be supervised β€” leaving doors (especially door/window escaped through) open/ajar in the very early morning (basically, need to camp out in room where door is ajar). (Cats have a keen wide-ranging/radius sense of smell; therefore, it is so important to get their familiar β€œhome” scents into the airwaves.) Every time, my little escape artist has come bolting through the door between 3:00 β€” 5:00 AM. (NOTE: When he’s escaped and door is closed, he panics and takes off again β€” it is important they have a way in once they come out of hiding and make a mad dash for home.) Hopefully, if not used to being outdoors, MIAOMIAO is very close by just scared to come out until it’s really dark and really quiet. Prayers for a quick safe return !!πŸ™πŸ»

Shared. Since Miaomiao isn't comfortable with the outdoors, it's vital to search for him! Most likely hiding nearby. Search around the neighborhood::out of the way spots bushes and trees and under parked vehicles. Keep in mind that cats can squeeze into very tight spaces! Especially when they're under extreme stress. So if in doubt, check it out. Take a flashlight his carrier and a bag of his favorite treats when you search. An open can of food (and a spoon) also works. Shake the bag or tap the can while calling out to him. Keep your voice calm. Any stress in your voice will alert him to stay hidden. Ask your neighbors to check their garages, back yards, storage sheds, bushes and trees, under porches and parked vehicles, etc. Be there when they search with the same stuff described earlier in my answer. If possible, search when it's quieter; the time when it's getting dark works well. Check areas where he might be looking for food, water, and shelter (like the dumpster area of a restaurant for example). Post Miaomiao on Nextdoor as well and check for updates on both websites. Check the shelters frequently, both in person and online. File a missing report while you're there. Contact local rescue groups just in case. Not everyone checks social media, post flyers in the area. Include veterinary offices and pet stores when you post the flyers. Good luck πŸ’–
