A friend found her cat again after years in a city about 50 km away.

    My cat did this. It wasn't as far but still about 10 km. We think he hitched a ride on the neighbors truck. Thankfully, it was only a few months but it sucked.

    Ours did this, about 6km, and thrice. He just didn't like our new house, so he re-relocated. After the third time one of our former neighbors took him in.

    Did you keep letting him outside?

    He was an outside cat, and living in a ~300 souls village in the middle of the woods. This was his style and we knew we couldn't take that from him for long. So after some days he let himself out while we were trying to get to school, buying groceries or just opening a window, he checked the new environment, decided he hated it and some days later he was gone.

    I can't say I didn't understand it. He was a free soul and was born in a shed next to some cows in said village. He just wasn't a "city" cat (that city had a head count of 7k, so it wasn't really Tokyo or Istanbul).

    Someone in my country had a cat that disappeared during winter, then several years later it came back like nothing happened. Turns out it had walked on the ice to an island, the ice thawed and it wasn't cold enough for it to fully freeze until those years later when the cat came back.

    I found my cat after about a month. She was maybe a block away. Acted like she didn't know who I was when I trapped her. 🙄

    Since I've become too disabled to feed our cat she doesn't visit my bed to sleep with me anymore.

    Entitled bastards, the lot of them. I had to re-home this cat soon after getting her back. I had a ~3mo and the cat kept biting the parts to my wife's breast pump. She ruined two sets and I made the choice that feeding my son was more important. I still miss her. She went to a family friend. Died around Christmas I just found out. Wish things worked out differently, but she was a devil.
