The cat may recognize its original owner when it escapes. Whether the cat recognizes its owner after running away depends on the importance of the owner in the cat's heart. 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.
