Seize the golden time; search upward; check the monitoring; post revelations; use food to lure; search at night. The cat may not be found in one, two, or three days, but no matter what, please be patient.

Seize the golden time

When you find that your cat is lost, you must look for it in time. Finding it as soon as possible can also save the cat owner from suffering. The first to three days after a lost cat is the golden period for finding the cat. During this period, the cat’s range of activities will not be very large, and it is basically near the home. As long as you search carefully, it is easy to find it.

Looking up

When a cat is first lost, it generally won’t go too far. If you live in a building, it may be in the corridor or in a hidden corner, but it may not leave the building. Generally speaking, cats are more likely to run upwards than downwards, so we have to look for them on higher floors first. If no trace of the cat is found after searching around, then we can try to look downstairs. Call the cat's name while you are searching. It may meow when it hears your voice.

View monitoring

While looking for a cat, if there is surveillance in the building or at the entrance of the community, you can go to the property management and ask the staff to help retrieve the surveillance and check the traces of the cat. Once you know where the cat has been, you can search nearby. The chance of finding it is high and it saves time. If the cat has run out of the community, you can look for it in the nearby grass. The cat is likely to find a hidden place to hide, and we can try our luck.

Post inspiration

When you find that a cat is lost, you can post a notice to find the cat, put a photo of the cat, and attach basic information such as name, gender, coat color, and the owner’s contact information. You can also write a reward so that you can find it. The possibility will be greater.

Luring with food

If the scavenger knows that the cat is nearby but cannot find it, you can put the cat's usual cat food or its favorite food in several places near the door of the home. A cat’s nose is very sensitive. When it smells food, it will come to eat it. As long as the cat has moved the food, we can accurately target the cat's feeding, and even wait for the "cat".

Looking for it at night

Cats are usually active at night. Darkness will bring them a sense of security. In addition, there are few people around at night, and cats may come out of their hiding places.Come on, we can look for cats at night, and cats’ eyes will reflect light at night, making it easier for us to find them. Remember to bring a flashlight and pay attention to some dark and hidden places.
