How To Find A Lost Cat - Lifehack # 1020

I have no idea if this works, but just saw this:

How To Find A Lost Cat - Lifehack # 1020

The average cat’s sense of smell is about 14
times as strong as ours. You can use this
information to your advantage if your cat
ever gets lost.

Simply put their litter box on your front
porch, they’ll be able to smell it from up
to a mile away, and they’ll follow the scent
home.

Kelli-:
Great comprehensive list David! I will be saving it in hopes we never
need it. I have also heard that pet trackers, specifically Balynda Brown
in our area (Northridge, NC), are great. You can find her on Facebook.

I have heard that you should leave a scent trail around your house
(with food, your worn articles of clothing, etc) in the shape of a
wagon wheel, with your house being the center of the wheel.

Lay out scent articles in all directions leading back to your house.

Inaam-
Have you looked in your home.Sometimes cats or dogs will fallow you
around and you don’t realize it and you may close a closet or attic
door on them . They don’t make as much noise as a dog would 
Look under beds, behind couches, in closets.

Kelli-
Good idea. I recently heard of a cat that had been missing for two
weeks or so. The family stayed at a hotel here in Raleigh and thought
she had gotten out and was lost. They left town and returned home but
left flyers and had local rescuers helping them search. The hotel found
her two weeks later hiding in the same room the family has been staying.
