Walk around at dusk or middle of the night with a flashlight to look in shrubs and under cars etc., use a normal voice to call her (don’t sound frantic) Leave out dirty laundry and run your dryer so she can smell her way back, “refresh” the dirty laundry daily. This doesn’t attract other cats or predators who will scare her from coming home like leaving a litter box outside will. Crack a window, garage door, or door if possible so she can come back in when she feels safe. Contact vets nearby, and chip company, and local shelters Post on pawboost, neighbors, and nextdoor. Stick fliers on doors and nearby businesses. Put a sign in your yard. Ask neighbors to look in hidey places around their property, in sheds, under decks, garage, etc. but to call you if they find her rather than try to grab her. She doesn’t know them and may retreat and make it worse. Tame indoor cats can get very skittish and feral-acting very fast when scared. Also, fwiw, my friend thought his cat was missing for two days. On the third day he had to go back to work, he opened his work pants drawer and his cat had been silently napping there… for over 48 hours.
