D Skyler Collett excellent advice! They do usually hide close-by when scared. Also putting out used litter has worked for me. They can smell their own scent from an amazing distance away.

Please check the neighbor's bats and garages, kitty might have gotten locked. Check both sides of the block. If you can't go in, call the cat's name. Check places that your cat might hide if injured. Call shelters, keep calling - go in in person. If you have shops, libraries, and gas stations nearby... put up flyers, and check-in with people at the counter. Put flyers up around the neighborhood, and talk with your neighbors. Good luck!

I am sorry you are missing your friend. Here are some tips you may already know: First make sure the cat is not indoors, cats can hide for days undectected when scared, getting used to a new environment, or just because, even after owners have looked everywhere multiple times. Cats are impeccable hiders and can hide for days. If your cat is not inside, displaced cats that find themselves outside, are usually in a 2- 5 house radius. Try to avoid putting out your cat's litter box if you can as it will draw other alpha cats in the area further displacing your cat, but do put out any of the cat's bedding, blanket, or any item of yours (like well worn/slept-in clothing, an unwashed towel, shoes, etc.) Cats tend to get scared once outside and go into surival mode. If they are hiding and hear you calling, their instinct will be to continue hiding because being in an unknown spot makes them a prey animal and they don't want to be drawn out. Think low: look under cars, in garages, under bushes, and backyard sheds. Ask your neighbors if you can look around their garages and backyards. Leave your garage door cracked and way the cat can gain enterance into the home at ALL TIMES. Cats usually come back when they feel it is safe at dusk or dawn but mainly smack in the middle of the night, so a cracked door or garage will help. I would suggest going out at 11:00 pm with a chair on your phone. Cats in survivor mode will be scared of a lot of things, including you calling out their name, however, if you go out of the house now, and at different intervals, including at nigh. t, and have a seat as your front door or driveway, while talkking calmly (as if your on the phone with someone) it may draw the cat home. You can also rent a humane trap for free generally from your local shelter which is another quick rescue method. I've found my cat, and others as well with sitting in a chair 11pm -2am on my phone. Good luck!
