How do cats find their way home?

"Whereas dogs are bonded to people, cats are bonded to place," explains zoologist Dr John Bradshaw. "It's very typical for them to try and find their way back to their old house when you move." But how do they do it? And if their navigational skills are so good, why do they get lost? Dr Adam Rutherford and Dr Hannah Fry find out.

First broadcast on The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry, 12 June 2017.
