I still haven't found him and we didn't just bring him inside and trap him in here well for the first couple days first first couple days he wouldn't leave the bathroom behind the toilet and once he got comfortable and started to explore through the house and get to know us he started to par at the doors to go outside and at first we let him out with our guidance leaving the door open etc and then it's been about 3-4 months of doing that and he go out for an hour at a time I leave the door cracked open for him every time and he would just comment in and out as he pleased and there's been two incidents where he was gone more than 12 hours but he came home and it is now officially been 3 days that he has not come home and we have not stopped looking for him even when we go out in the morning and we go do something and come back within the hour and he's outside he knows we're coming home and he will be at the door he'll come running up to us He's attached to us completely My wife and cujo actually have a really strong bond he comes in from playing outside and he will make biscuits with her and her blanket while he makes biscuits but to let everybody also know there was a type error in his name it is kujoe

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

Go around late at night calling them with food and flashlight to catch their eyes. Check around your neighborhood under houses and in small places where they may hide. Put stuff out that has yours and their scent on it. Hang flyers around for people to see. Check shelters and vets daily. Update chip info if they have a chip and its has not been update since a move. Ask neighbors to check in their garages incase they ended up trapped in one. I pray you get your baby back safe and soon.

I’m so sorry your beautiful mackerel brown tabby kitten is lost, but as you may now know, you cannot take a cat from one outdoor territory to another without slowly introducing them to it. A cat must be comfortable and confident in a particular territory in order to keep their survival instinct in check. Once Jujoe realized he was n an unfamiliar place, he became terrified and likely hid in the first, best spot he could find, too scared to come when called or emerge in the daylight. Did you just plop him down outside, or had you brought him into the new apartment and did he walk out the door under his own power? That could make a difference in how you recover him. Most cats in this situation will attempt to return on their own, usually within the first few nights if the conditions are just right, so if you know what to expect and how to react, you could have him back inside by morning. I've recovered many escaped cats and have a full set of instructions, but I’ll withhold them for now, hopeful you won’t need them. This is what I suggest you do and when: DURING THE DAYTIME, alert nearby neighbors in case Jujoe is hiding close to anothe runit (under a vehicle or stairwell, in a garage, shed, or carport, etc.), then, if there’s time before dark and you can search SILENTLY without dislodging him from his hiding spot, focus your efforts close to home and tiptoe around using a flashlight, but be quiet and discreet so as not to frighten him (shhh! DO NOT CALL or shake treats), check every crack and crevice, look in, under and around sheds, vehicles, furniture, under foundations and porches, into trees etc. but suspend searching when it gets dark to give him the chance to return voluntarily. AT DUSK lay a familiar blanket or worn teeshirt flat on the doorstep where he may have exited the home (DO NOT USE a litter box, bedding, trap or anything obvious -- it's there for scent only) to give Jujoe the confidence to come out of hiding, and place tempting food in front of the door (making sure you can still open it when he returns). Call him softly from the doorway to provide a familiar sound and direction, then watch and listen closely from inside (DO NOT GO BACK OUT AFTER DARK!) and if you see Jujoe approach and settle on the food be very careful not to startle him as you slowly and quietly provide a clear path back inside. If you can't wait up set an alarm and watch again just before sunrise -- it's a popular time to return. Please let me know what happens tonight and if he's not back by morning, I'll provide more detailed instructions. Also, although some suggest putting out kitty's litter box, EXPERTS WARN AGAINST IT. I've never used one in all the times I've been successful recovering a lost cat.
