Pauline Yokoyama I agree Pauline. It’s my dad who lets the cats out he believes that they should be able to roam free. Very irresponsible and dangerous but I can only do so much

Hi, any updates? Might be a stretch but I’m in the 95127 area and lastnight a cat was in our backyard looks super similar to yours. This cat doesn’t seem to have anything but it’s hard to tell.. Did he have a bell or collar on when he went missing?

With so many wild animals in our streets, maybe you should enclose your cat to keep it safe.

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/ If you have not already, visit neighboring homes and 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. Also, post flyers - don't rely upon everyone having access to on-line posts. 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 Gizmo soon!
