Make sure you check the inside of your house very thoroughly. Recently within a 2-week. Five people that thought their cat was lost was actually later found in their house, including a cat that was found in a cabinet that was hardly used 3 days later. I hope if your cat returns that it doesn't get out again and you take some precautions to help make sure it stays in....

A worn piece of clothing often works well on your porch to help attract your cat if it's nearby as well as inside the garages I mentioned previously. It would also be good to post on neighbor's ring app which covers the 3 mile radius of your location and alerts people that have the app. It would also be good to walk around a one to two black radius, especially at Dawn dusk and feeding time. Shaking a bag of cat treats or cat food vigorously to help attract your cat's attention if it's nearby and also bring a flashlight with you to help catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it's near. Hope to hear good news soon. Good luck!

Flyers are very important. They are best put in a zip gallon bag that is upside down to protect from the elements. It was just recently that both the dog and a cat were reunited by flyers alone since the people that found the animals did not have social media. If you adopted from a rescue, they usually like to know ASAP that a former animal is missing. If your cat has a microchip, it's good to make sure your contact information is up to date so you can be contacted if your cat is found. Cats tend to stay close to home before they wander so time is of the essence. Make sure your cat is not hiding in the garage in a closet in a dresser, drawer or behind furniture which often happens. I've heard of a few cats returning home the past few years when the owner left their garage open about 5 inches with a worn piece of clothing on the inside of the garage near the opening to help attract the cat if it comes close back to home but not too wide. So you do not attract unwanted animals. It's good if you go check outside on your block around Dawn and dusk with a flashlight looking in shrubbery and under decks and porches to hopefully catch a glimpse of your cat's eyes if it is close by. Usually cats are scared when they first leave home and might not even respond to you. So the flashlight might come in handy to catch a glimpse of the eyes. It's also good to check your local animal control in person daily because things change very often and best in person. It's also good to check local rescues and shelters in your area daily. Hoping for a quick and safe return.....

Try Going out late at night ie midnight and again early am ie 5 or 6 am with their smelly food and treats. Shake treat bag and call out their name. Take a flashlight and check under porches and bushes. Also if you can leave a bat window and garage door open so they can get in. Do for multiple days if needed. Good luck
