I have 2 house cats, they have been with me since there were 8 weeks old there now 6. So during the night every now and then as a treat I let them out for a bit but leave door open for them and there's never any traffic so they don't really go far say 50 yds away if that, but tonight at 3.15 a.m the local Police came around the top off my street now one of my cats ran to the house the other ran down the street where he's never been before even my other cat won't go that far. I've been around the streets looking for him no joy yet, but I've put his litter tray in my yard along with a trail of his cat litter from my house and around the streets trying to leave a scent for him. Also, his pillow he sleeps on is in the yard and also some tuna on the window sill which I heated up. I know it is only been a few hours missing but neither of them has ever done this before. Their brothers and have never been apart from one another and he's a very nervous cat as it is without this happening to him. I'm going to assume he's running and hide somewhere in the street, but too scared to come out just yet. I've left my back door open for him and I'll sit up 24/7 until he returns. I can't think of anything else to do for him just yet I read that it doesn't make much of a difference if you walk around looking for them because they might just stay hidden in case any other predators see or hear them. So I'm trying to use his sense of smell to lure him back home. Is this my best option for getting him back home? Thanks in advance.
