Most cats don't go far, and many are found within about 400 yards of home. Put wet/smelly food out in the evening. Pick it up during the day or if you notice it's attracting strays. You can also microwave it to increase scent, and walk around with it after sundown. We've been told that mackerel is especially effective! Put out an unwashed article of your clothing or blanket. You can also make "scent strips" from these items and place them in trails leading to your door. Go out in the evening with a flashlight and look under porches, sheds, etc. Bring treats or an open can of tuna or wet food. You can make chum trails leading to your door by using a can of cat food and a gallon of warm water. Shake well and sprinkle in trails leading to your door. Your cat will be most active between dusk and dawn. Try shaking a bag of treats and softly calling your cat's name while searching with a flashlight to catch the reflection of your cat's eyes. Get fliers up right away and ask neighbors to check garages, etc. Post to Nextdoor, Craigslist and Pawboost (free option only). File a lost report with the appropriate shelter and visit *in person* often, if allowed .
