Some cats have traveled great distances to places they've never even been to before to be with their owners who have moved away.
For example, in the case of a cat named Sugar, his owners left him in the care of their neighbors when they moved because they didn't want Sugar to be stressed out in the long car ride. However, Sugar made the walk on foot from California to Oklahoma in over a year, and was still reunited with his owners!

In an even more amazing case, a veterinarian moved from New York to California, leaving his cat in the care of neighbors. Months and months later, the veterinarian noticed a cat in his yard that looked a lot like his old cat, but thought that it was impossible to be him. Even still, the veterinarian ran tests on the cat just to check. Amazingly, the vet found that in the tail of the cat, there was a different bone growth from most cats. This was the result of a bite the cat had experienced long ago. The veterinarian decided that this was his cat after all. Source: Evidence for a Feline Sixth Sense
