Doing a walkthrough of your neighborhood can go a long way in locating a lost pet. Most indoor cats who escape are likely within a few blocks of the home, possibly hiding under a bush or behind a shed/garage. Often they are found a few houses away. Indoor/outdoor kitties might have a larger area of where they would wander but are usually within a 17-house radius of the home. The best time to go searching for missing kitties is at dawn/dusk, the time of day when cats are most active.
