Indoor cats are most likely to hide nearby. Search your property and ask permission to search nearby properties. Look inside any out buildings, under sheds and decks and in bushes and up trees. Use a flashlight to look for eye shine. Don't yell but speak calmly and lovingly like you normally would. Leave clothing you have worn or the cat's bedding outside as a scent trail. Never leave out the litter box as it attracts predators. If safe to do so, leave open the door or window the cat escaped through. Also a good idea to very throughly search inside your home - in closets and basements, check for openings into the walls and even crevices inside couches and recliners. Cats can get trapped in weird places or may hide if they don't feel well.

Put your clothes outside as a scent. Have neighbors check cellars sheds garages and vehicles. They get trapped. Look under porches and sheds etc. Have a Heart trap with tuna. Cover trap with blanket and watch trap. Look at night often with flashlight. Check attics drawers and in trees 🌲. Culverts. Flyers everywhere. Check town authorities and vets. Look at lost and found pet sites shelters in case brought in. Craigslist too. Get kids you know to help look. Check behind walls and insulation. Abandoned buildings. Leave the door open for cat or window.

Indoor only kitties usually only go five houses away. Put something with your scent on it ( unwashed clothes) outside. If you have any other cats put something with their scent on it too. Check under your porch if you have one. Check under grills, sheds, in garages, and I’m basements. Check your drawers. They may sound silly but it happens. The cat could've gotten stuck in your neighbors shed. Check yours as well as your neighbors. Also check up in trees in case the cat got treed. Go door-to-door and ask if anyone has seen the kitty, even put flyers in people's mailboxes. Leave bowls of stinky food, such as mackerel or sardines. Shake a bag of treats or cat food while calling their name.If there are any abandoned houses or for sqale houses, with no one living in them check there. Also check down sewer drains just in case. Some cats go in sewer pipes and they can't find their way out. Also look around at night under bushes and in shrubs with a bright flashlight. It may catch on the kitty's eyes. Looking at night when it's quieter is better. You can also set a trap to see if you can catch the kitty. The trap will have to be monitored because you may catch other cats and critters as well. Most indoor cats don’t go more than five or six houses away in either direction. It is very likely that he is near. He was probably seeking warmth so ask your neighbors to check their garages, under their porches and ring cameras if they have them. I can speak from personal experience that shining a flashlight into bushes is extremely helpful, especially at night. That’s how I found my parents’ cat. I hope this helps and that your kitty comes home quickly. Shared. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾
