We had rowdy grandkids over the other night, and someone didn't latch the door securely. My former indoor/outdoor cat let himself out, and the three higher strung kitties went out too. I'd already gone to bed, and no one thought to wake me. All but one were under the house yesterday morning, more than ready to go in, but my favorite feral rescue who's been happy here for two years hasn't returned.
We passed out color flyers with a good photo, walked, drove and called until I'm hoarse. She has food water and even a litterbox (figured the smell might carry farther than the cat food) outside, but none of it is touched.
No one but me can usually touch her, but there is a neighborhood child who has that touch with cats, time on her hands and a million ways she oud spend the reward, so I have some hope there.
I really think that once the dogs came my house was just too chaotic for her and she doesn't care to return. She's vaccinated and spayed, and a good hunter, but that doesn't keep her safe from parasites or the weather.
