1. : ( hopefully she'll be back

[magicarpet]

2. Leave some food by the front or backdoor,...

.... or where she hangs out at.

Go out periodically and call her name to coax her back.

[WillowTree]

5. Or both doors.

[malaise]

3. She'll be back

That’s home

[kozar]

4. Its 40 degrees outside

She was at front door, wasn't on,faster, thsn she ran out7

[MacKasey]

6. Go outside now

If you feed her can food
Open can and hit it with spoon

If you feed her dry take bag and shake it

Or a bag of treats

Call her name and say kitty, kitty, kitty

It may sound crazy but try it

She knows your voice

Keep us updated!

7. She was at door

Ran in, I sat down
She was in her spot,
On the arm rest
Good for her

[MacKasey]

9. She is back?

[kozar]

14. Yep

And she is a bit freaked out.
I adopted her as a" indoor only"
First time she ran


She obviously hated outside shes on my chest.
She's a mute, can't meow, but I touch her throat now,
Her whole body is purring

18. That's great!

[biophile]

26. That is really good news!

Hopefully now she knows that it’s much nicer inside with you than out in the chill! 🤞☺️

[displacedvermoter]

10. Good to hear it, happy for you both!

[elleng]

11. PHEW!!!

[herding cats]

12. I was about to tell you my little man pulled the same stunt last Thursday!

The end result was the same results.

I'm so glad she's home safe and warm!

8. She won't go far. Once she realizes she's out...

She'll hunker down and hide for a while, under a bush or a nearby porch or crawlspace.
Don't put a lot of food out, just a bit.
It may take a few hours or even days. Let your neighbors know to keep an eye out for her.

Listen for a cat crying. Go that way slowly, call her name, make coaxing noises.
Pick her up gently if you can, if not, make sure she sees you open the door and leave it open with more stinky food just inside until she comes in like nothing happened, lil stinker...

It may take 15 minutes to an hour once she's seen you and the open door.
If it takes longer than that, leave a stinky old shirt of yours and a cushion she likes in a box on its side next to your door.
She will come back to that and you'll probably find her curled up there sometime after dark or in the morning.

Cats don't like new experiences very much.

She'll want to be back inside where it's safe once she's aware she's not someplace familiar.

I've had that happen with my fur balls more than a couple times over the years.

On edit - I see she made it back home. 😸

13. In my experience, looking for them in the early morning hours always worked.

I don't know why. Perhaps they feel safer while there's not much going on?

Keep us posted.

16. The driver might have had another animal's scent on them.

Nothing works like ringing the dinner bell.

Good for both of you.

[kozar]

17. Crisis averted

She ran back in , faster, than she ran out..
She is scared, but on my chest..

Koz

[Polly Hennessey]

19. You scared me, Kozar. Relieved she is back and you two are together.

[soandso]

20. Happy for both of you

[kozar]

21. She has been

On my feet all night, while we slept, , while i watched news in my chair,
and against my leg when I stand up, even peeing.
Something out there, scared her!

23. Let it go.

[kozar]

25. If she hasn't been out before, put her litter box outside near the front door.

She will smell it and find her way home.

[kozar]

27. I dont want her outside

I get your point, I think, she , learned her lesson. Time will tell. She's still like velcro on me.
