I expect that if cat would somehow knew the shortest way back home it would arrive in less than 6 months.
What I googled was that cat average walking speed would be 3.3km/h. If a cat would walk for 6 hours a day it should cover like 20km a day. From Lourdes to Belgium it is like 1000km, when one selects walking path on google. With that in mind it should be something like 50 days or 2 months by shortest path.
For me that cat was badly lost, well being a cat you don't have restaurants but as in the first paragraph if it would not be lost I would expect it to come back in less than 6 months.
In the end it found its way but that would be the same for me if I take the wrong exit at the highway and I am 1 hour later, I was lost for that hour.

- ozim 6y agoWhen I read your comment I thought that yes I probably underestimate how much it takes to hunt for food if you are a house cat, hungry for couple of days. Because one does not get 100% hit when hunting. So it would be more like I knew where to go but I had to take that highway exit because I badly had to use the toilet. Maybe those 9 months would be quite right.
