Remember, scent items are very important. And go out and calmly talk and call her like you normally would. They sense distress in your voice and will not come or respond so be calm. Also look up in trees under porches/decks, look at night with a flashlight as their eyes glow in the light. If possible set up cameras. She wants to come back, she is just scared and needs guidance. Cats hunker down when they are afraid so try to help her find her way back. She will try to come back in the way she got out so keep a point of entry open if at all possible. Good luck 🤞🙏

Make a shelter for him with some clothes with your scent on them as well as some smelly food like sardines in it. If possible, keep the door that he got out if open slightly and if that doesn't work I used Kelly Brach from Professional Pet Trackers to help find my cat that was missing for 2 weeks. She has 3 highly trained dogs that track the cat's scent. Her dog pinpointed the location and we set traps and 3 days later caught the cat. This cat was a Foster and not familiar or bonded with us. He was caught in the bushes 3 houses away from us and that was exactly where the dog led us. I would not have believed it unless I saw it myself. So important to know about this service.

Thank you for your quick response. Buddy is actually an indoor/outdoor cat. But I’ll try some of your tricks!! Thank you!!

Indoor kitties usually stay close to home. Put something with your scent on it (unwashed clothes) outside. Check under your porch, under grills, in sheds, garages…. Including neighbors if possible. The cat could have gotten stuck in a neighbors shed/garage or even a basement with doors left open looking for shelter. Go door to door and ask if anyone has seen the cat. Flyers, flyers, flyers (important) ….. put flyers in surrounding neighbor’s mailboxes in case someone starts feeding the cat … not everyone is on social media. (Leave out bowl of stinky foods , such as tuna. Some people disagree with this). If there’s a sighting, set a trap with worn pieces of your clothing. Also look around at night under bushes and shrubs. If you can, leave the door open slightly where he escaped, he might try to return through the same door. Good luck .. . Sent from my iPhone
