There are many stories about cats wandering away and returning.  One woman
I knew thought her cat was lost, but it had merely been adopted by a new
neighbor who thought it was a starving stray.  Another woman's cat wandered
about 1.5 miles off, but was found by someone who'd seen some signs the
owner had posted.

My favorite story, though, happened to an aunt of mine.  She was in a serious
car wreck (the car was totalled), and her cat was thrown from the car and
presumably killed.  A search of the area, though, didn't turn up any corpse...
Four months later, from 20 miles away, the cat showed up....
