Having a missing pet is every fur parent’s nightmare. You have to maintain your presence of mind and establish the steps you will take in order to increase your chances of finding your lost pet.
The first tip when this happens is to conduct a thorough sweep of your house and surrounding areas extending it to the rest of your neighborhood. Double-check or triple check every room in your house if necessary. Preferably, you may do your search at night so that everything will be quiet. This silence can help you hear better if your cat is making a sound and increases the chances that he can hear you while you’re calling out his name. If you did not find your pet in the initial check, do not lose hope.
The case of your cat wandering far off from the house is unlikely since they are a territorial species. If they went after prey, or encounter a feral cat or predator, then this can cause them to lose sight and focus, and escape. If your cat is not accustomed to spending time outdoors, he may have difficulties in locating the way back home. There is also a high chance that he can be hiding in a garbage bin or bushes around the neighborhood. If you have already been searching for your pet for a whole day, you may try going to the local animal shelter to check if someone turned over your cat to the facility.
Experts recommend having pets fitted with a microchip to increase the chance of being reunited with their owners in case a pet gets lost or stolen. Ask your vet Washington DC about it.
