Great Escape: No-Sighting #8

It's 10:20. I engaged Home Again to print up fliers and spread them around after I got in to work. I agonized all day at the office. 

On my way home, I picked up a flashlight, tuna (cat lure) and clear tape (so I can post my own fliers, fliers I plan to make tonight and spread around the complex and plaster the neighborhood. 

I arrived to find the bowl of cat noms untouched and the water coated with a film of dust. 

Most depressing thing I've seen. She never stopped by.

Made a round of the complex with my handy flashlight as soon as I got home. Attracted only an small breed dog (who probably would have let me pick him up or traded for the tuna or the cup of noms I was shaking. Right now, I need to make myself dinner. I'm starving.

My front door is open and will be for the next several hours. Come home Bunny.

I'm sure she'll turn up soon. ♥

Here via Latest Things. This is going to sound bizarre and maybe crazy coming from a total stranger, but someone suggested it to me when my cat had been missing for three days, and it worked, so.

Pee into a cup the next time you go, and take it outside and mark the doorway/steps and any likely pathways - you don't need to pour out a steady stream, just a bit every few feet to make a scent trail she can follow. (fwiw, I poured the pee into an empty water bottle so it would be less obvious what I was spilling around the neighborhood.)

The scent will be very comforting to her, and should eventually lead her home; you can keep going out and laying more trails as well. I kept refreshing the scent on my porch so that would stay the strongest, then laying more trails around.

Stay up as long as you can, though; it may take a while for her to make it home if she's scared or far away.

I hope it helps!
