Check ALL outbuildings, including empty houses, and cellars THOROUGHLY as some cats will hide in, or behind an object within, especially if timid. When neighbours are checking, make sure you are present as some cats won`t come out of their hidey hole unless their owners are there. Check any decking too. And check behind hedges/bushes. Empty contents of the hoover onto the garden as his scent will be there. Put some tuna or chicken in his dish, and call him; night/early morning is best. Rattle some treats too. Place his UNWASHED blanket into a clean container, along with your scent too. Leave in the garden in a sheltered spot, or hang on the washing line if dry; used towels too. Wipe his scent on your garden fences, gates, doors too; anything leading up to the garden. Try a squeaky toy as it may attract his attention. Take a good walk around the area, holding an object with his scent on, and rattle some Dreamies. Someone maybe feeding him. (Common problem). When it`s night fall, and you are searching use a strong torch as the light will reflect a cats eyes. Poster around the area, and post flyers through doors too. Ask around, especially those with children as they can be very observant where animals are concerned. Post in shops; post offices too. Hand out as many posters as you can; where, and when you can. Ask family, friends, and neighbours to share as well s DL. Post a LOST CAT National newspaper too, in case he has climbed into a vehicle, but as a little poorly, wouldn`t have thought so. Bear in mind too that cats have very flexible spines so they can squeeze into very small spaces (About 3' wide 7/8cm) So could he have managed to get into a partially opened window, and is now trapped? When cats are "Under the weather" they tend to stay nearer home. Paws xd
