If your indoor cat gets outside and lost, simply put their litter box outside. You cat actually recognize its own scent from up to a mile away and find their way home.
These familiar scents will lure them home. Normally, a lost cat isn’t too lost, meaning they are usually relatively close in the area of your home. They are either too frightened or too disoriented to make their way back.
This is an extremely useful tip that has helped a lot of families reunite with their lost cats.
