she'll come back, its instinct. Cats like to explore, when their hungry, they return.
If out for over 24 hours, then get concerned. :(

Dont worry, it is natural for cats to go out for periods of time - my cat went for 2 days once and didnt even come in to eat. I am sure your cat will be back in the next few hours. If not then shake her food or call her name and she will come back.
I hope it goes ok :)

:( Same thing happened to my cat and I never found him. People are assholes and like to just steal cats they find without reporting it missing. Check local pet shelters and some areas actually have a local office that keeps a record of all cats/dogs found without an owner.

Cats usually come back on their own. They just like to explore. Just keep shouting her name and rattling her food. If she does not come back in a couple of days, put posters up,someone may have seen her. Contact the Animal Shelters as well. I hope she comes back.:)

My cats have often got out and I go look for them calling out Pud Pud Pud! Until I find them. Go look for her she is a little kitty cat that could be run over by a car or eaten by a dog.

ok call your local police and animal shelter and see if it is missing. and it also will probably come back try and squeak her toy and call her name. Also leave out some of you clothing or set a trap with food. Good luck and I hope u find her

Get another kitty. If yours comes home they will have a new friend to keep them company so they will be less inclined to want to escape.

go outside shake your treat bottle and call his/her name it always works for my cat when we cant find her inside the house.

if its an old cat, it could have gone out to die... or if its young wait for a couple of days then ask around neighbours etc...
