Lost cat Protocol Cat is usually very close by. When cats escape they are usually afraid. Therefore, they normally hunker down and hide very close to home. They will usually only venture out a short way if they don’t find a food source. Once they find food, they will normally stay in that area. Most cats are creatures of habit and will keep coming back to the place they find food. You need to search for the cat nightly using an LED flashlight. This is important!!! It must be a bright LED flashlight. 400 lumens or stronger. (This is VERY IMPORTANT!) You can get one at Harbor Freight or WalMart for about 15.00. A regular flashlight isn’t bright enough. It has to be LED and at least 400 lumens. Go out nightly. Especially later when it gets very quiet. 12 AM or later around 2 AM is a good time. That is when cats prowl. Also, before dawn. Look for glowing green eyes. All cats eyes will glow green at night when you use an LED flashlight. Sometimes you have to bend down to catch the glow of the eyes at a certain angle. You must look under cars, in bushes, street gutters, etc. Anywhere at all they can hide. Do not call the cat’s name. That can spook them. Also, do not chase if seen. Many cats will go into survival mode or what’s called fight or flight mode and won’t even come to their owners. Get down on ground level and gently coax them to you patting the ground softly. Have some smelly canned food or shake a bag of treats. Have a carrier handy to put kitty into if it walks up to you. There’s a good possibility you might need to use a humane trap to catch your cat. They sell them at the tractor supply store. Or, check online for a store in your local area. Animal control or a rescue might also have one you can borrow if you leave a deposit. Be consistent and do this nightly with the LED flashlight. I can’t stress this enough!! Also, you should set up a feeding station with a trail cam on it. I would set that up by the area the cat got out. Or, the last place they were seen hanging out. The trail cam will give you the capability to see if the cat is coming to eat. If so, you can set a humane trap baited with Mackerel in brine. It’s sold by the canned tuna in stores. It’s in a large can usually with the blue label. Your cat also might come back home looking for a way to get back in. If you can leave a window open that would be good. Also listen for the cats meow in case it’s trying to get back in at your front door. We have found many missing cats this way and some missing for a long time.

I went into Humane Society on Saturday around 5:50pm. Someone had found a cat that look very similar. I would go look there.

~~~Give a copy of the picture with information to the mailman in the area… They encounter many people & situation… Put a sign with information & picture in your front yard if you can & @ stop signs… For found animals Please take him to check for a microchip it’s free @ any Vet,Pet store etc. … Always get your animal microchipped, it gives a better chance of being reunited… There is always the possibility that a neighbor may have taken your “Fur~Baby” in thinking it was abandoned… Report any animal missing or found to your local dog pound… PetCo has free software that uses photo recognition to match your photo to photos from rescues and shelters…

Cook chicken on the grill. Put catnip outside. Play YouTube videos of kittens crying and shine a laser cat toy around the bushes.

He's probably looking for his brother they say you're not supposed to let a cat out who's just lost one and you have to show them the one that passed or they will keep looking for them. Praying you find him safe.
