Volunteer vine with 7 dark green leaves and curly tendrills that grasp onto house for support. What is this?

Dark green color, clusters of 7 leaves, leathery texture, hardy and grows fast and has other vines coming up off of the roots. I would love to find out what this may be and how to care for it properly. It hasn't flowered yet. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks!

Very tricky without having a photo. My guess would be Boston Ivy; Parthenocissus tricuspidatus. But that has 3 lobes on each leaflet if memory serves. Flowers are insignificant. Plant is deciduous, turns beautiful reds in Autumn before dropping leaves completely. Or it could be Cat Claw Vine; Macfadyena Ungiscatii. Yellow flowers in Spring. Is very obnoxious.



Good luck. Can you post a photo?
