Will the cat forget me?

A little funny thing happened during Chinese New Year:

A woman went back to her hometown for Chinese New Year and left her blue cat alone at home for a week.

Originally, what she was most worried about was whether the cat could take care of herself.

But when she came back, she found, eh? The cat actually forgot about himself.

The cat kept looking at her with frightened, frightened eyes, as if she had never seen it before.

You know, she has raised this cat for 6 years! It was so heartbreaking that I had forgotten about myself after a week of effort.

In view of this story, many shit shoveling officers are also confused, how long can the cat's memory last, will the cat forget me?

According to scientific research, cats' memory can be divided into short-term memory and long-term memory.

Short-term memory : According to scientists using food to test cats' memory, they found that cats' short-term memory can reach 16 hours.

Of course, this is not absolute. Sometimes cats have only a few minutes of short-term memory.

For example, they are playing with a toy, and then they are interrupted in the middle, then they will forget about playing with the toy before.

Just like people sometimes remember something, but after being interrupted by other things, they may forget what they originally wanted to remember.

Long-term memory : The long-term memory of cats is generally about 2 months, and may even be longer. It's based on how things make them feel, like happiness or pain.

So this can also explain why cats can hold grudges so hard, because of the painful experiences of those things, they remember very deeply.

But good memories are also unforgettable for cats.

Some people also said that the cat they raised will always remember themselves when they finally die of old age.

Do you still remember the net red cat named "Baibai"? It will remember grandma for a lifetime. After grandma passed away, Bai Bai couldn't be happy anymore, because the most important person in his memory was gone.

So, how to make cats remember themselves for a long time?

Getting your cat to remember you is actually quite simple.

But as for whether to remember you because of love or hate, it depends on your usual attitude towards cats.

If you usually like to beat and scold the cat, then it can remember you, but it's all hatred.

The owner can make it remember you by constantly strengthening the relationship with the cat every day.

Usually feed it some delicious food, and play games with the cat when you have nothing to do.

Some shovel officers asked: I feed my cat food every day, and it still forgets me. So, do you usually pay much attention to it?

Pleasant memories are the most important part of a cat's memory, more important than eating .

The more happy memories you bring to your cat, the longer they will remember you.

Even if they are old and have dementia, they will recognize you by smell.

So, don't blame cats for always forgetting you, maybe the memory you brought to them is not deep enough and not good enough for them. After all, cats can remember their owners for a lifetime.
