Ginny Grover if by some miracle he comes home. That’s the first thing I’m doing.

Once an indoor (or outdoor) cat is lost they will hunker down and stay hidden. He is hopefully still close by and staying hunkered down. The best times to look for him are late at night and early morning hours when it’s dark and quiet outside. Only one or two people looking and no small children. The main thing is calmness and soft voices when looking for him. Take a flashlight and gently call for him and watch for his eye shine. You can also gently shake a bag of cat food or treats if he knows that sound. Check in trees, on rooftops, fencetops, under bushes, cars, porches, decks, check your garage really well and any sheds or outbuildings and especially ask your neighbors to do the same. He may be stuck in someone's shed or garage. If safe to do so, leave a door/garage door/window cracked open so he can get back inside during the night. I've heard of a number of cats that just come back in on their own if the door is cracked open for them. You can put a scent item outside that he will recognize but another cat or predator won’t (blanket, cat bed, clothing). Litter boxes and food can attract coyotes and other cats so don't put those out. They will keep your kitty away. Report him as missing at your local Humane Society and/or Animal Control and go there often to look for him. Also report him as missing on the Lost My Kitty website. They can help contact local vets and rescue agencies for you. These tips are good for indoor/outdoor cats too. Best wishes on finding your kitty. ❤️

I hope you find your kitty. He may be out catting. You may want to get him neutered so he'll stay closer to home.
