**Your cat is missing!?
What to do:
They are almost certainly hunkered down very close to where they got out and are hiding. Contain the other pets and then leave the door kitty exited the house OPEN especially at night. Keep house quiet, and turn off interior and exterior lights. Cats will move around in the wee hours of the night.
Go outside at night (1-4 am) with a strong flashlight and shine it around. Under cars, in trees, etc. The light will catch their eyes and they will be easier to spot. Call your kitty. Shake their food bowl or open a cat of food, whatever sound they associate with food.
Relocate security cameras and point them at the door kitty exited as well as other parts of house and yard. Monitor cameras live. Cameras are key!
Put up signs at intersections within 1 mile. Walk flyers onto neighbors' porches. Make sure neighbors are keeping an eye out for your cat. Flyers are how I found my missing cat.
DO NOT put kitty's litter box outside. It can cause territorial issues with neighborhood cats or predators like coyotes and dogs.
