LOST CAT OUTDOORS - You need to search personally as neighbors won’t search as thoroughly as you would. Bri g catnip, treats and a flashlight. Ask to go in yards, not only beside you but in back, on the next and across and on the next street. I just found my neighbors cat in the very yard next door to his own house. Although the owner had been calling and walking around the blocks calling, he stayed hunkered down in a dense garden when I found him too afraid to come out. You need to get down and dirty and search under everything. YOU MUST BE CONSISTENT & DILIGENT - CATNIP & DIRTY LAUNDRY ASAP! - Sprinkle LOTS of catnip by entrance and stairs s/he went out. - Down to sidewalk. Be generous. - If you have predators, such as coyotes, only put food outside when you can monitor it - Put a scoop of real tunafish or rotisserie chicken (not catfood) in a dish, and put it be the door. Preferably, if you can do so safely, leave the door open slightly and place the food dish inside. Or in a nearby window you can leave open. If this is not possible, try to shelter it near where cat went out if you have a porch or something. - Hang worn (not cleaned) pieces of your clothing, like the shirt you wore today, or the pjs you worn last night, around shrubs, railing, the scent will drift. Also inside for cat to snuggle up on and for your scent. - Call the cat OFTEN especially throughout the night, LOUD ENOUGH to be heard from a couple of neighboring yards away. It is quiet at night and most cats stay nearby, but venture out in the dark. Shake a treat bag, and then stop and LISTEN closely for a meow. Check door every 30 minutes! Especially overnight. - Use a flashlight (even in daylight) to search under schrubs, porches (bend down and look way under with the light in the dark corners) sheds, garages, bat windows, under cars, up in trees. - Ask your neighbors if you can go into their yards and search too. They may not search as thoroughly as you would. At night, the eyes will glow. - Knock on doors, talk to people face to face. This goes a long way. Put flyers on telephone poles. Be sure to weatherproof them, You can get sheet protectors (these are plastic sleeves like you would fin d in a photo album, that fit a regular size piece of paper 8 1/2” x 11”) at the dollar store.
