your cat remembers your voice, your scent... forever?

People say cats don’t care. But truth is, their brains are wired to remember more than you think. While dogs learn to follow commands, cats use memory to survive—like copying mom’s moves or watching you open a cabinet and then trying it themselves. They’ve got about twice the brainpower dogs do for memory stuff. Some cats can remember obstacle height for 10+ minutes with zero practice, and follow food routes they saw once. That’s not just instinct—it’s strategy. And yes, they know you. In tests, most cats could pick out their owner’s voice from a bunch of strangers, just by ear flicks and head turns. They react more when you speak in your silly high-pitched tone, too. Even if you leave for months, your scent and your voice stick. So no, your cat didn’t forget you. They’re just busy collecting data. #catfacts #theyneverforget #catsarewatching
