Cats don't usually go far ..tape a shallow plastic container to a yardstick or similar...put Tuna, sardines or warm Rotisserie Chicken... hold the container at ankle height...walk slowly talking softly...stopping often giving your cat time to overcome his fear and come out... cats hide under shrubs ..sheds.. ask neighbors to check cameras... if you don't have cameras ...buy some inexpensive ones and put near bushes and doors..🙏🏻 if not 100% sure got out...open all cabinet and closet doors...leave them open...put food in each room to see if it's touched

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.

OWNER, this is a flaw if pawboost!! They will only share your post to Edison, NJ. NOT the area your cat is listed!! Share to FREEHOLD Facebook pages, Manalapaws, Nextdoor app & Ring neighborhood. LOST CAT Things To Do: ♦️Leave a baby monitor outside (preferably with a camera, not just sound). They often come home in the middle of the night when all is quiet. If you hear meowing, open your door! ♦️If you have a garage or low-level window, keep it ajar and place sardines and dirty clothes there should your cat come home on his own, even at night! Your cat is likely hiding in a bush or behind a shed or structure close to the escaped area. ♦️New Ring search party for lost pets. ➡️ Tap “Search Party on Ring Neighborhood and hit right arrow” under your dog’s picture to start “pet search party” BUT do NOT send codes or $ to anyone! ♦️Hire a drone company (WITH thermal imaging ability when there’s snow on the ground! Most DO charge. ♦️I’ve heard conflicting thoughts on whether to leave kitty litter boxes & food out to lure cats back home. This is what I’ve read, but do some research if you do: “Some coyote trappers use cat litter as bait. Ever wonder why cats bury their waste? They don't want to advertise their presence to predators! A litter box placed or sprinkled around the home may put your cat at risk of being snatched by a predator before you can get him back in the house.” ♦️I was told cats do not travel far, so also share to your *local* township Facebook pages, Ring Neighborhood, Nextdoor app AND flood your development that you live in with fliers. Fliers generate sightings. Lawn signs are very effective, eye-catching and waterproof. Put them at nearby intersections. ♦️From Er No: “Our friend was told to put out clothing, ohh with her smell and stand in ONE spot for a half hour, calling him...he was missing 2 weeks. If you walk around calling them, they keep changing direction to follow your voice and cannot hone in on where you are. She put out clothing she wore 12 hours, then stood at her back fence for over 45 minutes, calling him. She went inside and within 1 hour, he showed up. It is worth a try.” ♦️From West Milford Lost Pets: “TINKER has been FOUND❤️ Maryann stayed on the porch for hours last night, playing soft music that was familiar to Tinker, and with her blanket and food, and did not see her. When she got up this morning, she went into the woods with her treats and breakfast, and TINKER came out very warily and wouldn’t approach, but by talking softly and preparing Tinker’s breakfast Tinker slowly approached and came up to her as she sat quietly. Maryann scooped her up and ran into the house, with her girl safe in her arms” ♦️At latest sighting set a humane trap & surveillance cameras. ♦️This worked for another person recently: She “sat out in the dark in a lawn chair and called softly to him. He came running.” ♦️When posting to any missing pet pages, be VERY careful of scams. Do not send $ or codes to anyone. Often scammers will say “Go to Instagram” <— but don’t! Most lost pets are networked in Facebook & Nextdoor app. Many reputable trappers & trackers are volunteers in NJ and do not charge. ♦️Go in person to local shelters to see if your cat is there.
