Be proactive. Cats that escape from indoors will most likely stay close by. They will go into hiding but come out at nighttime. Go out when it’s dark, or early morning around 5 am , use a flashlight and call out by name, look in bushes, under cars etc. Talk to your neighbors and get the flyers out , they are really helpful for those who won’t see your posts on the internet. Put out some clothing to attract the cat’s smell, if possible set up a Wi-Fi camera to monitor and if the cat comes- set a trap. The cat will try to find a food source so try setting up a food station and monitor. Report to your local police and if the cat is microchipped, make sure the info is up to date. I would also email or call shelters in case animal control picks it up. Check their websites daily as new cats come in all the time.

Put some of your worn clothes & empty contents of vacuum outside for smell. Leave Kitty’s food & water out. Go out at night with a flashlight & check under decks, porches, cars, up trees, bushes, window wells, in & around garages for Glowing Eyes! Check Ring Cams & neighbors for blocks! They generally stay close by! Call PD & let them know he’s missing & check shelters! The more people looking the better & don’t give up🙏
