That was one of my worries too, that they'd run off and never come back. Then my most feral cat ran off and was gone for about five hours. I thought, "This is it. She's gone." Then later that night I heard a scratch on the door and she had come back.
Here's the funny part. The first thing she did was make a bee-line for the litter box. I was left standing at the door yelling, "You mean to say you were outside but held it in for five hours?? What do you think all that dirt outside is good for?!"
She just looked at me and blinked, so apparantly my point was lost on her. That seems to happen a lot.
