I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I'll try.
This Saturday, we had a birthday party for my mom. One of her friends stayed late, and was drinking. She called her husband to come get her, and the kids wanted to come too. The kids wanted to bring the cat, so they did. When they got here, the cat jumped out of the car, and was chased into the woods by my boxer.
They looked for him for a while, but couldn't find him. We've been looking a little every day, but still no luck until this morning. This morning as my dad was leaving for work (about 430 AM), he saw a cat that looked like my mom's friend's, and tried to get it to come to him. He tried for a while, but had no luck, and had to leave because he was already running a half hour late for work. We live back in the woods (but in a large cleared out area) on a semi rural road, and the houses are pretty far apart. I think he's still on the property since my dad saw him this morning. We haven't been able to put out food for the past couple of days because it's been raining. Tonight we're going to try to put out food to try to attract him. We don't know much about cats, because we have never owned any. What kind of food should we put out, and what else should we do to attract him? If we see him again, what can we do to get him to come to us? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Just saw the Cat SOS forum. Sorry for posting it here. I just came here and quickly looked for a place to put this and this looked like the closest thing. Could one of the mods move it please?
