The cat will recognize its owner when it runs away. Of course, whether the cat recognizes its owner after running away mainly depends on the importance of the owner in the cat's mind. If the owner is very important to it, then the cat will remember the owner for a particularly long time. Some cats can even remember the owner for about ten years. But if the cat doesn't care about its owner, it may forget its owner within a few months after the cat runs away. Generally, a cat's best memory age is between two and seven weeks old. It is recommended that owners spend more time with their cats at this time, which can deepen the cat's memory of its owner.
