Cat is missing

Keep your ears open in case your cat comes wandering back. Rattle a wet food can with a spoon, shake a bag of treats if your guy hasn't lost its hearing yet. Stuff like that but stay close to home and be aware.

My elderly inside-only cat (I think she was 15 at the time) mistakenly got locked out of the house and was missing for about 24 hours. We looked in every little nook and cranny we could get to within about a half mile radius of our house and found nothing, went door to door with flyers, called the local vet and animal shelters, and implored neighbors to take a look in their yard and call us if they found her. On the deck, we laid a box with her favorite toys and blankets in it and even partially opened a can of wet food, leaving our back door open for her to come in, as she had left. We found her that night, laying in our hallway as if nothing had happened.

Most escaped cats don't get too far from home. They're scared and prefer to hide. Given that our cat left and returned at night, I'd guess they probably prefer to leave their shelters at night, as well, thinking it to be safer.

Try what we did, OP. Best of luck. I hope you find your baby.

OP here, we found the old blighter: turns out he had slipped through a gap in the fence and had gotten stuck in another person's garden. He wasn't hurt, just couldn't climb out. Luckily, the person in the house had seen one of the posters we had put out. We're going to patch up the fence to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Thanks for the advice, guys, it was really reassuring when I was kind of freaking out.

Or instead of spending money, you could spend time monitoring your cat when you let it roam your backyard.
