    Frogs can be quite the squishy fellows. My little gray was about 2 inches tall and 3 long. He could easily squeeze through an opening the size of a nickel.

    He might have a chance of being alive, if your cats didn't get him. Two days is a good while without water, but I don't think it's so long that he'd totally dry up.
    I have a frog. She's fat and green. Her name is Gertrude, because she is fat and green.

    Thanks for the hope guys! I played some croaking noises with no success, except for the other frog singing along. I put 3 more plates of water out, and all of the cats are locked down stairs now, so I'm hoping he's upstairs. I looked all over the room but couldn't find him. If I don't find him in the morning upstairs or in any water dishes I'll focus on downstairs more. I'm hoping the cats didn't find him. :\ I also patched the screen.

    When my female WTF escaped (twice), she was gone for three days and then five days the second time. She was in my bedroom along with two kittens who found her both times for me. One time she was in the corner of the room, hiding behind a bucket. The second time, she was hanging out on the back of the door where I had a reuseable shopping bag hanging up at.

    Look in unusual places.

    And if your cats are allowed back in the room, watch them and see if they pay attention to any particular spot in the room. Chances are that they found your frog for you.

    When my whites Kevin and Eddie escaped my cat found them before me, but I heard Kevin 'scream' so I knew exactly here he was.
    Sarah's probably right, if you put your cat in the room (and keep a close eye on it) see where it leads you. Good luck, I hope you find him!

    If your frog is still alive he's probably looking for moisture if he hasn't already found some.

    Does your basement have a sump pump? Many animals will take refuge in the reservoir of water that a sump pump sits in. If there's any other places in your house that stay damp or wet make sure you check those areas thoroughly!

    Heat is helpful, but moisture is your frog's #1 priority right now!

    You should also check the soil of any potted plants in the house.

    Look in bathrooms, under the lip of the toilet seat, in the corners of the shower, under and around the sink.

    Look by your water heater and by your air conditioner, but of which could provide heat and moisture.

    I've had some frogs escape it make it back to their tanks mostly unharmed, others have met a gruseome fate of being covered in dust and drying out under a piece of furniture

    I wish you the best of luck!!!

    If you have a humidifier, turn it on highest setting. Pull out every bowl in the house, sit each bowl on the floor and fill each with rain water or distilled water, so many bowls in fact, you find it difficult to step around. That's how I found my frog - sitting on the edge of a bowl. And that was after pulling my large bookcase apart, checking every inch of wall AND ceiling, and getting out the tire iron to start ripping out the baseboard where frogs could squeeze between carpet and wall. In my case, frog had not wondered more than 6 feet from vivarium.

    Thanks for all of the help guys! No luck yet, I'm starting to tear apart other rooms. I'll put a humidifier in here and more bowls. My cat hasn't shown any signs of finding it, I tried putting her in here too. I'm worried they found it two days ago..
