Eduardo Moncorvo I live off Oswalt, behind lake Louisa. This handsome guy showed up a couple of weeks ago and I've been feeding him. He's not all white, he's got some orange on his face. But his eyes are blue.

Eduardo Moncorvo I'm sorry, it's not him. This guy has bright blue eyes. I hope you find Olaf soon.

What color are Olaf's eyes? I recently had a short white hair show up in my yard. I've been feeding him but won't come inside.

Diana Ellis Thank you so much for your help! Olaf is an indoor cat. We've been checking every night, and his food is always there...

is a beautiful white cat — I’m sorry he is lost. Is Olaf an escaped indoor cat or is he allowed outside? His familiarity with the environment will dictate how to find him. Escaped indoor cats usually hide close by but are too frightened to return or respond when called; while a cat that knows his way around may have become stuck somewhere and needs help getting home. I have recovered many lost cats and assisted others so if you tell me about Olaf I can provide complete instructions that may help. Please understand an escaped cat may emerge when it's dark and quiet to sneak back inside — if you do just the right things. This usually happens within the first few nights so until I hear back from you please implement this strategy if Olaf got out accidentally: tonight lay a familiar blanket or worn teeshirt flat on the doorstep — do not use a litter box, bed, trap, or anything conuous -- along with tempting food at his point of escape. Call him softly to provide a familiar sound and direction (he won't come on command) then watch from inside (DO NOT GO BACK OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT!) and if you see Olaf approach and settle on the food be careful not to startle him. Slowly and quietly provide a clear path inside and he may put an end to the crisis himself. If you can't wait up set an alarm and watch again just before sunrise -- it's a popular time. And although some will suggest putting out kitty's litter box, experts say DON’T DO IT. I've never used one in all the times I've been successful recovering a lost cat.
