No she’s a long brown tabby, that cat looks gray. Thank you though!

SOME CLARIFICATION: Hi Im Paprika’s owner! For everyone giving suggestions, thank you so much. I’d like to add some information to consider though: 1. She is an indoor/outdoor cat and often has free roam of the neighborhood. Im certain she has no problem finding home within a few house radius - leading me to think she might not be close by. 2. She has a way of getting back in the house if she returns. 3. She is not microchipped and is not wearing a collar. 4. Incase anyone spots her: she responds to being called very well. Especially to her name and the “chimes” alarm sound on Iphone (wind chime sounds in general).

Please try these tips they have definitely helped others to get their pet home. Watch a tip video on youtube about how to find your lost cat,there are several. Post and check on Nextdoor for sightings. Also just heard about this site offering great useful tips so definitely check it out “lostcatfinder.com” Just know your kitty is probably not far away so the sooner the better, put out something of yours or the cats out for scent, putting out the litter box is not recommended as it attracts unwanted critters that could possibly scare your cat off again. SO IMPORTANT…. Look with flashlight early a.m. and/or late at night, calling and shaking food. That part is crucial because those are the quiet hours and your cat would be more prone to coming out of hiding. put up flyers too. If you get any sightings use a trap, sometimes you can borrow from animal control or Amazon has them. I have recently heard some take smelly, oily fish (juice only) (sardines, tuna) and make a “smelly trail” around their house to help with scent. Dont give up too soon , i had one gone for weeks and as i was about to give up, my last night to call her, she was in our yard. Also just heard someone found theirs after 70 days so…… 🙏🏻🙏🏻 EDIT: Regarding looking early a.m. or late p.m. hours I feed a stray and I see him on our ring camera before it gets truly light so when I say early a.m. I mean something like 530 am. Also when searching if you notice any feral cat colonies/feeding stations, definitely check them out
