I found this true story on a cat protection website.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
..."Buffy", a lovely female cat with very unusual colourings and markings, came into our care after she had been seen wandering and scavenging for food in Preesall, Over Wyre, for several months. she was heavily pregnant and in desperate need of help. she soon gave birth to five kittens and the little family settled down happily with one of our caring fosterers. recently, a couple arrived to adopt a kitten, remarking how the little creature reminded them of a muched-loved pet cat that had gone missing from Saville Road, Blackpool, eighteen months earlier, leaving a brother cat that pined for a long time. They eventually came to the sad conclusion that their pet had been killed by a vehicle.
Just then "Buffy" came into the room, followed by the other four kittens. The lady took one look and gasped: "I dont believe it - its her!" The mother cat knew her immediately and you can imagine the cuddling that followed. The very happy outcome of this coincidence is that "Buffy" and her family were taken home where they belonged. One of our welfare ladies accompanied them back to saville Road and witnessed the brother cats's joyful reaction when he saw Buffy". The couple are keeping one kitten and have guaranteed good homes within the family for the other four kittens. all we can assume is that she must have climbed into a vehicle and travelled to Preesall, a distance of at least five miles. She must also have given birth to other kittens during her long absence from home. Needless to say, she has now been spayed
