Thank you for the info! 😊 We actually had a cat tracking dog come to our house last weekend (James Branson), and the dog didn’t alert to his scent anywhere inside or outside our home ā˜¹ļø We also went into the neighborhood (James said there weren’t very many places he could be hiding), and behind our house we searched the wooded area. We have flyers up, and we’ve talked to our neighbors. Went to the Auburn Humane Society and will continue to check in with them. I feel like my cat just disappeared šŸ’” I know that isn’t true of course, but there haven’t even been any sightings of him.

Vanessa Malcolm please, please don’t assume this and therefore give up hope. Much more likely is that, being an indoor-only cat, he’s hiding very well, very close, in fear of the unfamiliar outdoor environment. ***Leave escape door open as much and as late at night as possible so he can sneak back inside. Put a trail of tuna juice & your unwashed clothes &/or his bedding leading up to and into the door. Remain well inside the door and be very quiet. DON’T put food or litterbox outside as it can attract predators so he’ll stay hidden. When door is open & you’re in that room to monitor, put smelly wet food at least 2-3 feet inside the door & if he comes in to eat it, quickly & quietly close door behind him. ***Set a humane trap ASAP! This is the most effective way to recover an escaped indoor- only cat. Borrow trap from Auburn Valley Humane Society tomorrow Ideally, monitor trap & area with a webcam. Cover the top and 3 sides with a black yardwaste bag or dark sheet/towel and the bottom with a very light cloth & place in bushes near escape point. Bait it daily with finely minced sardines on tiny plate (very important NOT to leave any other food outside of trap cause u want him hungry enough to go in trap). Be PATIENT with trap as it can take days to a week for him to get hungry/brave enough to come out of hiding and go in it. Go out tonight & tomorrow & sit quietly in your yard, shining a strong flashlight around bushes, up in trees, and sides of house to look for his eye reflection. Talk as if you’re having a quiet phone conversation just so he hears your voice (DON’T loudly call his name, cause he’s fearful of being exposed, even by you) and shake a treat bag or open a can of food if that’s something he responds to. Listen for bushes rustling. Talk with as many neighbors as possible and ask if you (not they) can check their garages, under decks, bushes, sheds, trees, crawlspaces, woodpiles, and in brambles, as he could easily be hiding/stuck somewhere. Frequently do the same around your property. If microchipped, ensure you’ve registered the chip with a company, kept your contact info up to date, and notified them he’s missing. Post sturdy photo flyers at all mailbox stacks in your neighborhood. Don’t ever give up hope or stop taking action šŸ’ž. You can do this! He’s counting on you to help him get back inside.

That happened to me once with an old cat, it's hard but sometimes at that age they want to just go to a quiet place and go to sleep...

Owner: Escaped strictly-indoor cats will stay hidden very well, very close to the house in fear of the unfamiliar outdoor surroundings. ***Leave escape door open as much and as late at night as possible so he can sneak back inside. Put a trail of tuna juice & your dirty clothes &/or his bedding leading up to and into the door. Remain well inside the door and be very quiet.
