Cats that normally do not go outside do not go very far. They will hunker down in the bushes in your yard or your neighbor's yard. You may be so close to them that you can actually step on them and not see them. So look extremely closely. Go out there with some food or some treats in a bag or a can shaking it calling their name. If it's safe to do so and you have another person in your house, have them stay inside with the door open from which your cat escape from. When you are outside calling and shaking the can and looking for he or she, have that person inside with the door open. Cats normally will run back into the same door area but if it is closed they will leave. At night, go out there with the food doing the same thing but with a flashlight looking for the reflection of their eyes. If you have a garage door leave your garage door open a few inches. Also cats have been known to come home between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. so you'll need to check frequently. Put a piece of clothing of your cat's most beloved person outside. Cats can smell up to 1 mi away. But do not under any circumstance put the litter box out. That will attract predators. Cats cover their excrement for a reason. If you put the litter box outside, your cat will leave the area. I will also share.

The best time to look for a cat is late at night after the daytime sounds settle down. Go for a walk and take a flashlite scan into the trees and under bushes. A cat can fit in any hole that they can fit their head thru they have collapsible shoulder blades. Most indoor cats stay close to home but come out at night. Most important is to make your presence known. Go out every half hour after 9pm and call for them and stop and listen it's amazing what you can hear late at night. Get your voice and scent out there. They are looking for you also. Look for glowing eyes at night. If there is a dog sibling that the cat likes take the dog on the walk. If you open canned cat food or shake treats do so on your walk. If the cat has a noisy toy shake it on your walk. Make posters and put in every business within a mile of the home. Let your mail carrier know. If there are teenagers in the neighborhood let them know they love reward money and being a hero. Check all local shelters. Let local veterinarians know your info. If there is a feral colony near you check it out. If you can find the feeder of the colony give them your info. Make large signs and put in neighbors yards at least a mile radius of the home. This ensures that everyone in the area has the info. Put post it notes on your neighbors doors to look in sheds and garages. Post on every Facebook forum in your area. Post on Pawboost and For the love of Louie. Check Humane Society. So important to make your presence known every half hour after 9pm. Make a bed out of the cats carrier and put soiled clothes from inside the home around the bed. Put it as close to the house as you can. Leave a shed or garage open check them often. Camp in your yard. Most indoor cats are found late at night. Don't give up. Do not put food out or litter it attracts every animal in the area including raccoon opossum feral cats and coyotes. Your cat will know that there is food inside and that is incentive to keep them close to the house. If you are outside that's OK but take it in when you go back in. If your cat sees a predator eating their food it might make them retreat further. Most important is to let them know you are looking for them. Hope you find your baby

Cook chicken on the grill. Put catnip outside. Play YouTube videos of kittens crying and shine a laser cat toy around the bushes.
