Put her litter box outside, and something from inside the house that smells like you, like an item of clothing, or one of her toys. Go out in the evening and call for her, shake a bag of treats, And look in bushes. Ask your neighbors to check their backyards, Their garages and their sheds. I hope she comes home soon. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please read the advice shared on the Missing Animal Response Network. They have a page specific to lost cat behavior. The following search in a browser window will lead you to this site: missing animal response lost-cat-behavior I regret I cannot provide the direct link – FB in its infinite wisdom has started blocking the link as SPAM. Next, If you have not already, visit neighboring homes (don't rely upon their reading a post), ask them to look into their garages and outbuildings, checking multiple times while sitting patiently, and quietly. Cats get scared when in strange places and won't necessarily bolt for the door when it is opened, and might not even run to their person if they happen to be present. Check every logical and illogical place your cat may have gotten into in your home or on your property, to name just a few: cabinets/drawers (high and low; in garages/bats/sheds too!), closets, box springs/sofa liners (they make nice hammocks), under/behind cushions... Don’t forget to check in with local vets and animal shelters. Some have had success with placing a humane trap in their backyard - luring kitty in with a serving of their regular food. Finally, for any reading this, please keep a bowl of water (ideally freshened every 2-3 days) in your garages/outbuildings for those instances when a neighborhood critter happens to find themselves trapped. Good luck, I hope to read a positive update soon!
