He’s most likely trapped/stuck somewhere (or could be injured and hiding). Crucial to do daily active physical searches (along with asking neighbors to do so too) of garages, sheds, crawlspaces, brambles he could be entangled in, under low decks & cars & woodpiles, & look high up in trees. Use a strong flashlight for dark spaces & at night to look for him. & his eye reflection. Post sturdy rainproof photo flyers at mailbox groupings around your neighborhood (and surrounding neighborhoods in case he’s been chased out of his normal territory and can’t get home). Don’t assume he’s been taken by a predator & therefore stop actively looking for him, but when you do find him, PLEASE keep him safely INDOORS-ONLY going forward . There are far too many outdoor dangers to let one’s beloved cats roam: coyotes, bobcats, & birds of prey are abundant everywhere & easily take cats both day & night, cars can injure or cats, cats can die from eating mice poisoned by exterminator bait traps, they can be found by someone & kept, cruel people can hurt them, & much more. If microchipped, ensure chip is registered in your name, your contact info is up to date, & you’ve notified chip registration company he’s missing. Have you filed an online Lost Cat reported with King County Animal Shelter (RASKC) & looked through their Found cat postings? If found, that’s where he’d be reported to or taken to.
