'I feel so betrayed': Woman heartbroken after realizing her 7-year-old “lost” cat has found another family and acts like she's a stranger

Cats work in mysterious ways, and this one has chosen a path that's leaving his owner heartbroken. This kitty has always been an adventurous outdoor lover, roaming the neighborhood and hanging out in various backyards, becoming a familiar face to everyone on the block. But one day, he went completely missing, leaving his worried owner frantic. Searching and putting up missing ads eventually led to a surprising discovery: the cat had been staying at a woman's house two blocks away, perfectly healthy and surprisingly happy.

His collar had been swapped out with a new one, and when the owner approached, the cat tried to run away. Apparently, the woman had tried bringing him back multiple times, but he always darted back to her house instead. The owner finally took him home, but as soon as he was let inside, the cat bolted right back to the woman's place.

Now, the owner is feeling a mix of emotions—hurt, confused, and betrayed. The cat clearly loves his new home, but the question remains: Should the owner try to keep him indoors or let him stay with the woman who's clearly become his new family?
