The first time one of our cats got out, she got as far as hiding under the porch until we could coax her back inside.
The next time she didnāt even make it outside. She got into the (unheated) garage and just spent the night there until we found her.
That second night it was -11F (apparently -24C). I donāt blame her for not wanting to go further but itās still annoying that she chose being out there over all the delicious bribery we left around the house to tempt her back in! (She was fine when we found her and has no apparent lasting issues from the experience, though she hasnāt tried to escape since.)
