Anya, I think she has been hanging back in the vicinity, but had to overcome the fear of the outside feral cats to make a dash for the back door. She is not exactly Miss Congeniality around people, or cats for that matter. It sounds like you have a permanent part-timer.

She stayed on the balcony for an hour or so, watching the birds, then disappeared.
Maybe Ringo has a part-time cat-mama, too.
