My cat ran away
eenaleor:
A suggestion: You could try playing other families, since the pet may walk by their house, and then befriend it, adopt it, and give it back to the original owner.
I had a stupid family of wolf breeders once, they had a mother wolf, father wolf and four puppies. As soon as the puppies grew into adulthood they started to chase their father until he ran away. I had given him a collar and immediately reported him missing... and after some days I got a call that the police had found him and if I wanted him back. The same time the policecar arrived everybody got a bad memory and I realized father wolf had just died :O
So the car drove away again, I didn't even get a gravestone. Never tried to breed wolves again :P
Dea:
I read that if you move the family while a pet has run away then the animal will be removed from the family and placed in the adoption pool. Maybe you could try that. It was in the Prima Guide so I don't know how true it is.

When you're trying to breed pets it's best to keep them locked in a fenced in area. When you have a lot of pets hanging around chances are that they will fight and one or more will try to run away. If they're locked into a pen or back yard (with APO denying them access through the house and thus to the street) they will attempt to run away and when it fails the "run away" icon will disappear and your pet will still be right where it's supposed to be (in the pen). IMO, this is the only way to keep your sanity while attempting to run a pet breeding lot.

I've lucked out with breeding. More than once, I've had a pet that hated its parents and fought constantly with them, but still stayed. My only runaway was with a pet that was being constantly attacked by strays.
jsalemi:
I think that if a pet shows up on another lot as a stray, the lot residents can call the owners to report a found pet. Not sure of the exact details how this works, but I seem to recall a discussion here about it not long after Pets came out.
