I saw an orange cat passed away on the left shoulder of 87 North, between the 280 junction and airport exit. RIP, I hope it’s not this baby.

Hope you are reunited soon. 🙏🏻 Please check hiding spots around your home, and ask neighbors to check around their homes as well. Leave open the door or window your cat escaped from, and set up cameras to monitor in case she returns on her own. Post flyers, and include a note asking people not to chase or follow her, so she does not get scared away. Also check local shelters in case someone found her and brought her there.

For Nona's people: Please read the advice shared on the Missing Animal Response Network. They have a page specific to lost cat behavior. https://www.missinganimalresponse.com/lost-cat-behavior/ Next, If you have not already, visit neighboring homes (don't rely upon their reading a post), ask them to look into their garages and outbuildings, checking multiple times while sitting patiently, and quietly. Cats get scared when in strange places and won't necessarily bolt for the door when it is opened, and might not even run to a familiar person if they happen to be present. Check every logical and illogical place your cat may have gotten into on your property, to name just a couple: cabinets/drawers — high and low; in garages/bats/sheds. Don’t forget to check in with local vets and animal shelters. Some have had success with placing a humane trap in their backyard - luring kitty in with a serving of their regular food; also with leaving clothing/blankets with your and/or their scent. Finally, for any reading this, please keep a bowl of water (ideally freshened every 2-3 days) in your garages/outbuildings for those instances when a neighborhood critter happens to find themselves trapped. Good luck, I hope to read a positive update on Nona soon!
