We deduce the existence of transfer maps in cohomology and Hochschild cohomology from certain inverse subcategories. This is in part motivated by the observation that for certain categories C, being a Mackey functor on C is equivalent to being extendible to a suitable inverse category containing C. We show further that extensions of inverse categories by abelian groups are again inverse categories.
