In reply to the discussion: cat custody battle. woman tracks down lost cat 7 years later. current owner won't give him up [View all]REP
(21,691 posts)35. An indoor-only cat can still sneak outside
Especially when moved to a new house - everyone's routines are disrupted, and a curious cat might be able to get past even the most diligent human. One of my cats got outside when we moved - she's never been outside a day in her life - and I was able to round her up, despite her being scared shitless and doing her best to hide from me.

Perhaps that cat rescue can offer a cat free of charges to the original owner...

The cat is the property of the orignal owner unless there is some statute to the contrary. nt

It's selfish to want the cat back after 7 years, imo, unless if the cat has a bad home.
