Hints from a cat behaviorist to help locate your kitty; > Add DO NOT CHASE! To your post & a phone # for real-time sightings. If someone texts to say they have your cat, demand a photo & a phone call. If they mess with you, block them. They're scammers. > Inside only & inside/outside cats are almost always hiding very close. Tell all your neighbors and put up neon poster board lost cat signs. > Leave a window, garage or door open to your house if it’s safe to do so for them to reenter. (Keep in mind this is at your own risk due to safety concerns, and other pets would need to be secured first.) > It is very likely they will try to re-enter through the door they escaped from. Put some of your dirty clothes outside so they can use them to smell their way home. > Physical searches in a 5 house radius (500 yards) of your house is one of the most important things you can do. Let neighbors know you're lookin > Look in trees, on roofs, bushes, storm drains and under/in everything. This includes under and in parked cars as scared cats will climb inside their undercarriage. > Use a flashlight at night to look for eyes. Scared cats may still move around so you may need to check the same places multiple times. > Fear can make even the most tame cat act feral so some need to be trapped. They probably won’t come to your call. It is also not uncommon for them to be missing for over a week before they come out of hiding. If you see your kitty, sit down, talk to them until they comes to you. Do not chase! > Don't put their litter box or food outside because it can attract other cats and wildlife that might run off or your cat. Important! Put up flyers - if your pet is friendly, someone may have them in their home & not know how to look for owner. Many folks are NOT on social media! File a report with PawBoost.com [free version] & they'll provide a flyer you can print/hand out & put up in high traffic areas + your neighborhood. POST on Neighborhood Facebook pages & NextDoor. Fill out a Pawboost lost pet [free version] Someone's kitty came back in through the door she went out of --- if you can safely leave a door/window open, that would be good. Also, put out her bed and some of your dirty laundry so she can smell her way home & ONLY water - no food or litter box - those attract predators. When you see her, sit down and call her to you if she doesn't come right away. Cats tend to be a little feral after they've been outside and are skittish. I hope he/she finds their way home SOON!!
