My indoor only male black cat got out once. We put out all the scents. Old blankets, our unwashed clothes, his scratch post, his empty dirty litter box, vacuum dust etc. My nextdoor neighbor would see him trying to return during the day while we were at work. Then get scared and run off into nearby woods. I started setting my alarm for 3am while it was quiet and go out calling him. Finally after 5 days I heard him crying in very thick bushes Nextdoor to our house. I saw his eyes with my flashlight. I had to literally crawl to get him. He was like afraid to move. I finally got him . They usually don’t travel far. They will hunker down close by.

Do this: Search in a different direction from where lost ea night, preferably after midnight. Walk neighborhood while shaking an open bag of Temptation treats (a must for success) as you call her/his name softly, very softly. Also bring a flashlight with you and look on trees, high up in case kitty was chased and climbed up. The eyes will beam like headlights when light is on them. IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE ""TREATS"" & ""FLASHLIGHT"" 🔦 (yr phone might work). Get low on the ground if you see kitty, so not to scare away. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Have these treats for this to work!! Bring kitty's blanket for scent purposes. 🔶️ Bring someone with you do not walk alone late at night, preferably someone kitty likes.🔶️ ♦️♦️CHECK YR LOCAL SHELTER IN CASE IT WAS PICKED UP BY ANIMAL CONTROL OR A NEIGHBOR BROUGHT IN FOR ROAMING. ♦️♦️
