Our cat had went missing a couple years ago. He would go out every morning and come home every evening but one night he didn’t come home and stayed gone for 20 days when someone told me the trick about going to Walmart and getting cans of mackerel and using a strainer and putting the juice of that can into a spray bottle and walking out several house links from my house in spring up, high on trees, all the way down to the ground on bushes and doing this leading all the way back towards my house and doing this from every direction Around my house so a full circle like a bull’s-eye leading all the way home he showed up four days later I really hope this helps you good luck. Stay positive don’t give up when cats are scared. Apparently all their senses shut off except for sense of smell and mackerel is like crack and they cannot resist it. Walmart just happens to have the cheapest cans with the most juice

Here are some tips to help you find your cat: You can contact animal control and police in case someone finds your cat and calls them. Also use pawboost, lostmykitty and petfbi to list your cat as well. With Lostmykitty, their free option includes making a flyer, and I believe they email a photo to all the local shelters. They also offer an amber alert where they will call and leave a message about your missing cat to all your neighbors. If you choose the free optionr first, they than usually offer you a discount on the amber alert. Probably the most helpful thing you can do is see if your town and surrounding towns have community Facebook groups and join them andy share this post there. These are the people who will see your cat! And if you haven't already, post your lost cat on the many missing pet sites on Facebook. There are usually several for specific areas. When indoor only cats get outside, they often start acting wild, making it hard to catch them. You can try setting a humane trap in your yard. This has helped many people catch their cats. Also having a trail camera will let you know if your cat is coming around. And usually indoor cats are very frightened outside, so they find a good hiding spot nearby and often stay there. So search with a flashlight at night and look for glowing eyes in hiding spots and up in trees. Sometimes when an indoor cat gets out, they start acting a bit feral. So if you are able to leave the door your cat got out of a little open or even a window, they might come back in on their own when no ones around. This has worked for me before. Also, call all the local vets and emergency vets and email them a photo so they can keep an eye out if anyone brings your cat to the vet. Lastly, check the local shelters on Facebook regularly as they usually post pictures of the animals they receive. You can also file a missing pet report with them and you can go to them in person and look at the cats they have. I hope you find your cat soon. 💚
