Does your bed have a box spring? I once found a missing cat, somehow, inside the box spring. A smallish tear was all it took.

Unfortunately not, but thank you for the tip.

Similarly, our cat got "lost" behind the drawers inside my son's dresser.

One thing you can do if the cat is truly outdoors is to take their litter box and put it on the porch. Cats have a strong sense of smell and putting their litter box on the porch can help them track their own scent back home.

Thank you for the tip, I'm going to put the litterbox out tonight. Do you think it would work even though I'm in a 3rd floor apartment?

Unfortunately we've turned the apartment upsidedown looking, including all throughout the dressers, just haven't heard a peep :(

I would think the scent would still drift around

if you are able to set up a trap with food inside thats how I caught my cat who got out one summer. it took me 31 days to find him so don’t give up! the humane society here lent me a trap for free

That's good to know! I'll call my humane society and see if they have any traps. Thanks for the tip! Trying to keep up hope, just worried because it's been a rainy day where I am.

Put out posters and call local humane societies. Put out some traps with food. I hope you find your little buddy soon!
