Has the cat definitely been sighted outside? If you don't have a confirmed sighting outside, or the cat was not seen leaving the house, it might be inside somewhere. Cats hide when they are not feeling well or are scared, or there has been some big change in the house. Look in every closet, cupboard, drawer, chair, sofa, box springs, washer and dryer, dishwasher, fridge, anywhere the cat could hide. When I had adopted one of my cats, he got up into the sleeper sofa & hid. Took me almost 24 hours to find him. My friend's black cat hid in a kitchen cupboard, way in the back behind some big pots. It took nearly 4 days to find her. So if you do not have confirmation of the cat being seen outside or seen escaping, thoroughly check the house. Good luck. Hope kitty is found safe and sound.

Do not put the litter box outside. It will attract predators.

I highly recommend putting your worn tee shirt outside immediately. Your cat will smell your scent and find his way home.

Try to walk your neighborhood between 1-6 am. Softly call him. Rattle a bag of treats and shine a flashlight under cars and bush and up trees and rooftops. Watch for the light to be reflected in his eyes. In the daytime, check garages and sheds to be sure he’s not trapped. Ask your neighbors to check, too. Good luck. He’s a handsome boy.
