Please check out this article I copied from a person’s page: Helpful Tips for Finding a Missing Cat From my experience of Coaching/Recovering over 2000 cats as a Lost Pet Professional, I have found that Escaped Indoor Cats are extremely predictable and are not lost per se- just displaced from their inside territory and hiding close by- Waiting to get back in but can't open the door. Right after dark search with a flashlight looking for eyeshine in all the hiding places around the outside of your house and garage - starting at the escape point working out to a 3-5 house radius where the cat could hide including up a tree or on a roof- especially if there are dogs around. Let the flashlight do the work- don't invade hiding places or the cat may move or run. Always leave the escape door open during this search because if the cat runs- it will likely be to that door. Search any basement opening that may be accessible thru a broken window or open door etc. If seen, sit and calmly coax- let the cat come to you- DO NOT approach - be patient. If it has rained -the cat would move to a completely dry hiding place which may include open garages and sheds where they may also get closed in. If not found in the searches- speak calmly to the kitty near the escape door -NOT frantic stressful calling - and make the noises you do at feeding time- crinkle treat bag - open a can etc . It's not about food- it's about a familiar sound. If no meowing answers or no kitty appears after a while- go inside and leave the way in open. Repeat talking before you go to bed. Leave the door the cat escaped thru ajar from late night to dawn and it will likely return- no lights inside or out. No food in the first 5 days as the cat knows there is food in its territory. NO LITTER ever -that's a dangerous myth and clothes do not help- cats do not navigate by smell - they have internal gps. If the door the cat left from can't be left open- leave the garage door up cat height and an inside door open or a place to wait up high like a cat tree.. Most will show themselves when you open the door early morning with the same feeding time noises and talk Also all of this is step for step in my expanded article in the "files" section here on Recovering an Escaped Indoor Cat along with the next steps to take along the way as you may eventually need to feed/film/trap after the first 5 days and put out signs. Cats have no system to recognize their owner's scent... - in fact in a study to see if cats recognzied the owner's scent or sought comfort from it...Cats ignored the Owner's scent as expected. Cats mark human friends and cat friends.... with their own pheromones..in a system called "bunting"because they have no system to recognize an Owner...Cats evolved for thousands of years without owners....- they rely on scent only within their species to communicate and to mark their territory and friendly safe items in their territory..Cats are very, very predictable if you understand their physical and mental systems. Cats use GPS/magnetoreception to navigate to their territory anyway- not scent. They will move toward an Owner's calm voice but have no way to identify a human's scent.....Those are dog skills and behaviors. Cats use scent primarily to differentiate - not to navigate and their scent range is very limited...in the 15-20 ft range unless a scent is on the wind. In cats, scent determines sexual status and is used to communicate, to interact socially, and to identify territory - not to navigate or find home or owners...

What to do if you lose your Cat 1. Search all places inside and around your house as cats can hide in small places. 2. Shake their treat bag and softly call their name. 3. Search at dusk and dawn with a flashlight as the light will pick up their eyes. Outside they tend to hide under shrubs, under porches, in open sheds & drainage ditches. You can shake their treats while looking outside too. 4. Put something with your scent on it outdoors, on a porch or deck or in your garage with the door cracked. Sometimes the scent brings them home. You can also put their litter box outside but depending on where you live, it could bring out predators. 5. Post on nextdoor & the Ring Neighbor app. 6. Post on pawboost. You can download a free flyer here. 7. Post on FB Lost & Found Groups 8. Make a lost pet report to all the local shelters especially in areas that have close boundaries. 9. Post on PetFBI site and use .org as the ending. 10. If chipped, report to chip company but don’t forget to change status when your cat is found. 11. Ask your neighbors to check their garages and sheds. 12. Last you can rent a humane trap from the shelter and set it with some tasty food. If you have a lot of predators in the area you live, you may want to skip this step. Often your cat is around your home at night.

Put something outside your friends place that smells strongly of your scent, like gym shoes or sweat shirts, the smell can help lead them back.
