There are a lot of toys that cats love that you can make at home: some cats will chase a crumpled ball of paper or a pom pom, you can tie a few feathers to a stick with some string, or you can put some crinkly plastic in something like a sock. Be sure that the toys are for supervised play only. Here is a link to some ideas: https://www.worldsbestcatlitter.com/clearing-the-air/2014/03/the-10-best-homemade-cat-toys/

He looks beautiful. Most cats love crumpled paper balls! But you can try the fuzzy mice that are available from a pet store or get one of the angling toys (a stick with an attached string and a fetherball at the end). You can also make a feather toy for him by gathering a lot of feathers, tying them together and throwing it. Anotehr great toy is a ball into which you can put dry food. The ball has a few holes and as he plays with it the food falls out. once he figures out how it works, it is a great toy. (But my cats still like the small crumpled paper balls best.....)

It is thought cats can see some colors though not the spectrum that humans can see. It is easier for a cat to differentiate blues, violets and yellow over reds and greens. If a cat shows a preference to a certain toy, it is likely the shape or odor that is attractive instead of color.

In my experience, a cat who wants to escape from something like a harness will eventually find a way. I do think that this type tends to work a little better: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/petsafe-gentle-leader-come-with-me-kitty-harness-and-bungee-leash-in-blue I also think training is very important: put the harness on for very short periods of time while offering food or a treat and gradually work your way up to longer time. If he starts to get upset with the harness training is over and you should take it off. All harness time should be fun! Once he seems comfortable you can then try adding a lead.

You can try to lure her in with tuna. Or your best bet is to borrow a "cat trap" from your local humane society or Animal control facility OR you can just buy one like this https://www.walmart.com/ip/OxGord-Live-Animal-Trap-24-X-7-X-7-GFA-Catch-and-Release-Humane-Rodent-Cage-for-Rabbits-Stray-Cat-Squirrel/48095808?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=693&adid=22222222227035491470&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=75975829594&wl4=aud-273067695102:pla-176373722194&wl5=9028263&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112354462&wl11=online&wl12=48095808&wl13=&veh=sem These are safe to use and won't harm her so that you can get her back inside. I wish you luck in getting your sweet girl back inside the home and back to safety. Hopefully she won't be too traumatized and will go back to her normal sweet self.
