Are you 100% sure Nikki is outside? Open every cupboard/drawer/box that you have in the house just to make sure

I've gone through every cubbyhole, any crevice she could hide in, all the rafters in the basement anywhere Nikki could hide in at least three times and yesterday two friends from Cat Sense (my cat rescue group) who are pros at finding cats came to the house and we couldn't find her anywhere. So I'm afraid she is outside. They left a humane trap to entice her to come home.

Now NIKKI please get home, everyone is worried.

Hi David, just wanted to say, don't give up hope. Most of the time, a missing cat is very near to where they were last spotted. 9 times out of 10, cats that I know of that have been found were found within 100 yards of where they went missing. Of course, this isn't always the case but it is very common.
For this reason, it is so important to speak with everyone on your street in person. Ask them to check their outbuildings and their basements. It is very likely that she sought out shelter in one of these places and they later became closed by an unsuspecting homeowner, having no idea that a cat could be inside.
If some of the people that you go to speak with on your street are not home, you can simply post a flyer on their door with a note asking them to check their outbuildings and sheds.
Don't forget to contact all the vets so they can keep an eye out for her in case she becomes injured and someone brings her in to them. Same with the shelters.
Placing an ad in your local paper will help too.
Don't forget to look up in the trees in case she can't get down. Same with rooftops.
Prayers going out for her safe return.

If you haven't already, go to the shelters in your area and fill out a lost pet form. Take a photo with you. Look through their found pet forms to see if anyone has turned her in. Then, look in every cage at the shelter -- including the infirmary. Look in the dog area too. Just to be on the safe side. And sadly, look in the DOA file. Tear the place apart. Introduce yourself to every person who works/volunteers there. Check back with them every day. Don't worry about making a nuisance of yourself.

Sadly, we learned our lesson too late to save Kuhio. Cats are only held 3 days at our local shelter.
