You must be so worried. The following ideas are based on research. 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, or talk to them. Your voice only. Try to stay low. Standing is intimidating to cats. Have treats ready. Your cat may not come when you call because they are in survival mode. 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. Animals are territorial. Tomcats will be attracted to the waste in a litter box. That’s why cats cover up their waste to avoid predators and aggressive cats. It is a natural cat instinct. I have witnessed cat fights before. Cats can be very aggressive if they are protecting their territory . You don’t want your cat to be scared further away from its home. 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 from 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. One successful pet owner asked their neighbors if they could search at night in their backyard. They also informed the police that they would be looking in the area. Good idea! They found their cat in the neighbor’s driveway! 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. Many people report seeing their cat on their camera. They will come out late at night or in the early morning hours when it is quiet and they are not threatened. One owner saw their cat on the porch trying to get in. Only if it is safe! : Open your door a bit, or leave the garage door partially opened. 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. 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 ! PLEASE HELP! 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. Stay strong. 😻
