Put anything outside that smells familiar and like YOU , a towel or piece of clothing. Cats can smell for miles. Also put stinky stuff out like tuna, sardines, clam juice. Walk around at night with a flashlight looking under cars, in bushes and up in trees her eyes will reflect in the light. Clang her food bowls walking around to calling her name. Ask your neighbors to look in and under sheds, decks, in garages in case she’s locked in. Good luck I hope she comes home soon 🙏 Also post on petco’s site called love lost.. https://lost.petcolove.org/ And on Nextdoor and lost and found pets of Hillsborough county Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Lostandfoundpetsofhillsboroughcounty/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Post flyers and ask around with your neighbors in case someone took her inside. My friends cat was once in the house across the street for a month!!! If you’re not certain she got out please check everywhere inside I once read of a cat stuck in a recliner chair and a dresser drawer! https://www.dailypaws.com/cats-kittens/cat-safety-tips/how-to-find-a-lost-cat https://www.pawboost.com/blog/7-effective-search-tips-for-finding-your-lost-cat/ More good tips The cat must be able to associate the outside of her home (that he is unfamiliar with) with the inside of the home that he knows. The ONLY way he will be able to do that is by smell. So she should put things that smell like her and the inside of the house (used towels, unwashed t-shirts, blankets, pillow cases) outside the last door he went out of. Cats have an amazing sense of smell. Also put his food and fresh water there too. Cats almost always hide within a 3 house radius when they get out. They aren’t active during the day but may come out at night. If he’s not back by dark, she should go out late tonight, when it’s really quiet and her neighbors are all asleep, and search for him with a flashlight. She should walk around slowly, calling his name, and pausing each time to listen for faint meows. Pausing each time to listen for faint meows is critical, because lost cats don’t usually come running and he may have to be coaxed out of hiding. His eyes will reflect in the light and it will make it easier to see him.
