Crack your garage a slight bit and will likely try to come home early morning when its quiet. Informative video on how to find your missing cat. https://www.facebook.com/374756619256467/posts/2701302119935227/

So sorry kitty is missing. My indoor only cat got out during construction and was missing for a week. Post on Next Door. If chipped, report missing to the chip company and ensure they have up to date contact info for you. File a missing report with the shelter online. I read indoor cats usually only stray 5-10 houses so I went door to door in a radius around my house and asked neighbors if I could search their backyards and under sheds. I also handed them a flyer. I walked around at night calling my cat and shining a flashlight in bushes to try to spot eyes. I cracked my garage slightly and put a lot of dirty laundry i.e. dirty sheets and blankets which helps with a scent trail. A neighbor spotted my cat in the storm drain closest to my house. I never thought to look there. It took 3 days after knowing she was in there until she came out. I do not have Ring, so I bought cheap motion sensor cameras and set them up at both doors that sent motion alerts to my phone.Good tips here: www.catsinthebag.org Paws crossed you are reunited soon.

My vet told me that if ever my 2 boys got out, I should put articles of family clothing outside. Cats have a terrific sense of smell and if they smell something familiar, they will come home. He also told me that cats will not just run like a dog might, they will more than likely find a safe, secure hiding place usually close to home because they're scared. If you try this, I hope he'll come home sooner than later. I've also been told to be sure to check storm drains because they have a tendency to go there too. ***per Stanley Animal Control, If you put their litter box outside, a cat can smell their own litter box up to a mile away and come home. On a personal note, I'd be leery of putting food out now because the bobcats and coyotes seem to be a big presence again in the neighborhoods. I'd stick with clothing vs the food.
