If we assume those areas circular with a cat’s personal territory (your house e.g.) in the center, this means male cats on average wander 500 meters (or 1500 feet) away, while female cats are less curious – they walk approximately 230 meters (or 750 feet) away from home.f course, while this case, happening in 1950s, is a rarity and a story everyone rises their eyebrow for, other stories about cats traveling several hundred miles or kilometers for a reunion with their owners are popping up in the news every now and then. But that does not give us idea how far cats normally roam.
