Do cats ever stop roaming?

Hi there. I'm totally being an obsessive mommy but was wondering whether cats ever stop roaming? My baby has been disappearing for a few hours some days, something she's never done before...it completely stresses me out! Thank you

Is this the 4-month old? Has she been spayed yet? Generally, altered cats or older cats stick closer to home.

No, not the 4 month old...my 2 year old actually. She was hand raised and is spayed, which is why I'm surprised and worried. The last cat I had who roamed came home to die after being poisoned
