One of my dearest cats, Kira, managed to get away from me two days ago. His carrier broke halfway into the new house and he bolted. He's incredibly timid, and with the new area I don't expect him to come home on his own. He took off into a fenced lot that's HUGE and covered in all the bushes, sheds, tall ground cover plants, and small areas to hide. They do have a sprinkler system, but who knows where that hits.
I'm still carefully hopeful for his return. He's the kind of cat that would bunker down rather than fleeing forever. I think.
With it being such a big area I'm not sure if he would find the food I place for him. It's also been 103f outside so I worry for his health. He will hide for AGES inside when we arrange things and it spooks him. I imagine outside is much worse. Do such skittish cats ever settle down enough to begin roaming it be found? Is there anything I can do to help sooth him while he's missing? I think he's within the yards of three or four people, so probably within the sound of my voice.
