So the worst possible scenario has happened. My male cat got out of the yard yesterday morning. I've been searching for him up and down the streets near me, but I've seen no sign of him. I'm a little worried now because it has been hot and sunny recently, but tonight there are supposed to be thunderstorms and rain for the next few days. I'm assuming he's outside somewhere so I don't know how he'll react to it.
I about brokedown when I couldn't find him, so the people I'm staying with are letting them stay in the garage and not outside (that is if I find my other cat). No, it's not INSIDE, but it's better than outside. He does have a collar and ID on, but I'm afraid that it has possibly come off. I've already contacted the animal shelter and filled out a lost pet report. I'm going to put up fliers tomorrow. I've tried to put out scents he'd recognize and some food, but I haven't seen a trace of him. I'm more afraid he's lost, even if he's not too far away, and he's not able to find his way back. I've also thought maybe he would try to go back to my old apartment, it's not far from here, about a mile, but I'm not sure with him being an indoor cat he'd venture out that far, being scared and all.
Anyway, I've looked up info on finding lost cats, but you guys seem pretty informative, so I thought I'd ask if anyone had any other suggestions or advice.
