It is best to look for a lost cat at night, and the best time to look for it is after nine o'clock in the evening. Because domestic cats are usually timid, they will not appear in public view during the day after being lost, but will generally choose to come out to look for food when it is quiet at night. This time period is the most effective time to search.

The best time to search for a lost cat:

1. Search immediately after finding it

If you find that your cat is missing, you should immediately search for it. Go out and look for it, but don’t be too blind. If it slipped out through the door of the building, the owner can look for it on the stairs. If it is lost outside, you can search for it in a hidden corner or in the grass while calling its name.

2. Search after 9 p.m.

If the cat is lost and not found immediately, you can go out to search after 9 p.m. Because cats are nocturnal animals, they will come out to look for food when they are hungry at night. During this period, the owner can place the food it likes to eat near the place where it was lost, so that it will come out when it smells a familiar smell.

3. Search early in the morning

If the cat has been lost for a long time, you can try to search for it in a nearby garbage dump early in the morning. Usually, stray cats will choose to search in the garbage in the morning. This method is also very effective in finding food.
