Frequently Asked Questions  How to Get an Escaped House Cat to
Come Home Your house cat that isn't allowed outside just got
out. Your cat is probably excited and happy to be outside, but
scared as well. Don't panic, there are ways to get it back.
1. Never assume your cat will simply walk back home or even be
able to find it. Once an indoor cat has gotten out it is in an
entirely foreign environment and easily disoriented. You must
also act immediately. Don't wait until after work to walk around
calling for your cat. The animal is probably frightened and may
not come to you.   2. Place an ad in your local newspaper and
other local sources. Include your telephone number as well as
cell number. It's the fastest and easiest way for someone to get
a hold of you if they find your pet. Some people will actually
go out of their way to help you find your lost pet, and if they
happen to see it roaming around at 1AM, what good will having an
e-mail address do? You might not get the message until the
following morning
