Jillian Renée If she has been spotted, that means she has come out of hiding and is searching for food. At least you know she’s not trapped in someone’s shed or garage. She’s still freaked out and may not come when you call her. YouTube has a lot of videos about trapping your pet.

I saw this cat on Sherwood Forest on Friday, Aug. 21. It went into the ravine. I noticed it because of it unusal coat. Good luck in your search.

Jillian Renée She is a beautiful cat. I am sure you are very worried. Stay strong! 😻 Putting a litter box out is an Internet myth. Cats are very territorial. Putting out a litter box and food will attract predators and aggressive tom cats to the area. This could scare your cat further away. Cats instinctively cover up their urine and feces for that reason. Here are some recommendations from cat experts based on research of over 1000 lost cats. Indoor Cats: The most important first thing to do is make a thorough search of the area. Inside only cats rarely go far. They go into survival mode and hide in silence. Most of them will not respond when they are in survival mode. Very early in the morning, and after dark, is the best time to find a missing indoor only cat. This is the time they become active. They often will not come out during the day when they escape. They will be hiding in fear. Sit and quietly call for your kitty. Your voice only. Try to stay low. Standing is intimidating to cats. Have treats ready. They may not come when you call them. Don’t be discouraged. Look every day. Place some dirty socks, clothing, and pillow cases etc. with your scent on them outside, near where they exited. YOUR scent will attract your kitty. If you have a garage, place the items near the garage door and crack the door enough for them to get in. Refresh the items every day to keep the smell strong. DO NOT leave the litter box or food outside!! It can attract predators and aggressive animals that could scare your cat further away. Don't give up, it can take time to find a missing indoor only cat. Do a general search during the day, but return with a strong flashlight as late at night as you can to look in trees, under cars and in bushes. Try to look for the glow of their eyes. The best chance of you being reunited with your cat is to do a search of the area. Most indoor only cats will be within 160 feet of your home. Survival mode lasts 5 to 14 days but can last longer. Once their hunger gets to a maximum they snap out of it, and come out of hiding. The majority of cats will try to make a break for home on the 5th night. Ask your neighbors if YOU can go in their backyard and look around or check in their shed, garage, etc. Look around the air conditioners, drainage ditches, bushes and under cars and decks. Asking others to look for you doesn’t always work. People don’t follow through. They may not be able to bend down and look under decks, etc. It's VERY important that you look as late at night or early in the morning as you can. One successful pet owner ask their neighbors if they could search at night in their backyards. They also informed the police that they would be looking in the area. They found their cat! If you have other animals, watch them. If they are spending a lot of time looking out a certain window, that’s a good indication the missing cat is in that area. Wildlife and motion activated cameras are also helpful. Ask neighbors to check their Ring camera. Many people are successful trapping their indoor only cats. Some rescue organizations will rent or let you borrow humane traps . If you decide to trap, you must watch the trap very closely. The food in the trap could attract other animals. It can be very successful, you just need to keep an eye on the trap. There are some good YouTube videos of how to trap your cat . Make mini flyers with a photo and contact information . Hand them out to your neighbors and anyone in the area that will listen. There are some people who don’t go on social media, or don't pay attention to posted flyers. Post a sign in your yard ,or in a common area. Make it the size of a Political or Realty sign. LOST CAT LIVES HERE ! Include a photo and contact information. Bicycle riders, runners, walkers, delivery people etc. will see the poster. Contact local shelters, Humane Society, pet care businesses, and groomers. Some people don’t go on social media. Get on every pet loss group that you can. Ask your mail carrier, neighborhood workers, and delivery people to be on the lookout. I hope your cat is home soon. 😻
