What else can we do to find our missing cat ( 2 days now)
What else can we do to find our cat? It’s been 36 hours
She goes out every now and then but never more than two hours; this is the longest she’s been gone. She snuck out late last night when my mom was letting the dogs out. It was raining almost half of the last 24 hours. She is mainly an indoor cat, however she has had one incident a year ago where she got lost for almost 30 hours and we found her on a fence two blocks down a day and a half later at 4 am.
What we've done so far:
put flyers in the neighborhood and tell people about our cat
posted on local Facebook groups about our missing cat
looked for her late at night, we took flashlights and have been looking from 10 pm to 4 am intermittently as well as through the day
put her food and litter out
smeared wet food on the fences surrounding our house and a few of the neighbors' fences with their permission
Let our dogs out to see if they can attract our cat (they are pretty close to each other)

Is you cat desexed / neutered? If not, it might be looking for a mate, in which case it would usually return after 2 - 3 days. Desexing removes the sex drive and the incentive to run away.
Is your cat chipped? If yes, call surrounding vets and animal shelters. They should scan runaway pets for chips by default and register them in a database. The chip ID of your cat should be noted somewhere in its vaccination record. If you cannot find it anymore, ask the vet that implanted the chip.
Are there any farms or mass breeding stables nearby? We live near such a stable and noted that cats sometimes get trapped or locked up there in search of mice or food. You could call them and ask if they noticed anything.
