Hello! Sorry your cat is missing, but it is early days... a few tips: Check all outbuildings, including empty houses, and cellars. ALWAYS take FURTHER LOOKS as some cats will hide in, or behind an object within, especially if timid. Check behind hedges/bushes too. Put some tuna or warm chicken in her dish, and call her; night/early morning is best. Rattle some treats too. Place her 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. The hoover contents on the garden are a good (if a bit messy) idea - lots of your scent here! Wipe her scent on your garden fences, gates, doors too; anything leading up to the garden. Try a squeaky toy as it may attract her attention. Walk around the area, holding an object with her scent on, and rattle some cat treats in a box. Someone may be feeding her. (Common problem) When it is nightfall, and you are searching, use a strong torch, as the light will reflect a cats eyes. Poster around the area thoroughly, and also post flyers through doors. Ask around, especially those with children, as they can be very observant - maybe offer a little reward to the children. It is also common for cats to climb into delivery vehicles. Wast there one around your/a neighbour's house that day? Supermarket vehicle? Amazon deliveries/post office van? Ask all neighbours. If so, contact the relevant company. They usually use GPS these days and can say where the van went next, possibly the hop off point if your cat got into the van. If so, put notices/flyers around that area too. You could also try doglost - a national pet-finding website. Put an advert in the local paper - I found a cat this way. There is always hope with a chip - some cats come home long after they go missing because of the chip details. Hope your girl is home very soon. Paws xd,

It looks like she might have been locked in my neighbors house they are on holiday a cleaner is in and she has now appeared
