I don't know what the percentage of recurrences is, but it can come back. I had a friend who like you had it in her childhood. It went away for most of her adulthood, but came back when she retired at 65. Perhaps that was an emotional thing......if asthma can ever be caused by ones emotions.
Don't worry, by the time you are older there will probably be a cure for it. However, don't smoke.

Apparently you CAN 'grow out' of asthma as you get older (although there are older people that have asthma as well). Maybe you haven't had any symptoms for some time - but combinations of things - cat, season, general wellbeing are making you more susceptible at present.
Go and visit your doctor who can check it out for you. If you used to take lung capacity measurements keep a check and see how you are going
good luck!

I don't think that it really goes away, it may get better. Ask your doctor for a more accurate answer.
