Eisenhower is probably hiding nearby. Here are some researched ideas on how to find a lost indoor cat: Inside only cats rarely go far. Usually, they only go a few houses away. Indoor/outdoor cats will go further. Indoor cats go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode . During the day, do a deep search. Then late at night, and 3-5 AM/early morning search again. They will come out because it is quiet. This is the time they become most active and responsive. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Don’t yell! Standing is intimidating to cats. Try to stay low. Don’t bring a big group of people with you. Just the owner who has a familiar voice. However, they may not respond to your voice. They are in survival mode. Be patient. Don't give up, it can take time to find a missing indoor only cat. Use a flashlight as late at night/early morning as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. IMPORTANT: DO NOT leave the litter box or food outside. It can attract predators and aggressive animals that could scare your cat further away. Animals are territorial. Tomcats will be attracted to the waste in a litter box. That’s why cats cover up their waste to avoid predators and aggressive cats. Ask your neighbors if you can go in their backyard and look around or check in their shed, garage, etc. Look around the air conditioners and under cars . Asking others to look for you doesn’t always work. People don’t follow through. They may not be able to bend down and look under decks, etc. It's VERY important that YOU look as late at night or early in the morning as you can. One owner asked his neighbors if he could check in the backyard during the evening and in their shed, and under their deck. He also contacted the police and let them know that he would be searching in backyards during the evening hours. Good idea! If you have other animals, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. Ask neighbors to check their Ring camera if they have one . ***Many people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap very closely. Early morning is a good trapping time. YouTube has some good videos on how to use a humane trap. Trapping is very effective. Your cat will be hungry and the trap will lure them in. In addition make mini flyers and hand them out to your neighbors. Put a LARGE sign in your front yard that says: LOST PET LIVES HERE. Include contact info and a photo. Contact every vet clinic, emergency clinic, groomer, and pet store in the area. Mailing a flyer with your information to businesses is one way to get the word out. Join every lost pet site and post information on the site. Contact the Humane Society and all shelters. Tell your mail delivery person and any food delivery people in the area. Lawn workers and construction people may have seen your cat. Stay strong! Don’t give up. Good luck.😻

The only way a lost cat can find its way home is with its nose. They have to use their sense of smell to get home again. Put anything outside that smells like their territory. Put the pajamas you slept in outside because you probably sweated in them. Put out their food your stinky socks your smelly sneakers anything you can think of that the cat will recognize by smell. Cats usually stay within a five house radius of their own home for up to a week or so sleeping in the bushes during the day and coming out at dusk and dawn. Those are good times to take a walk shaking the treat bag calling out but cats also tend to come out and walk around very late at night. Try to keep a door cracked if you can whether it's the garage or whatever or a window cracked so you can hear them if they call out for you. Put this on all of the neighborhood pages as well as lost and found pets sites. Knock on the neighbors doors and make sure they know you're looking for your cat. Good luck PS cats can smell up to one mile away from their own house. Absolutely no litterbox outside or food. It attracts predators is why. Never give up.
