They sit there, stare, people assume, due to lack of communication, that they are ignorant little whelps. I disagree. I think they are sophisticated and deep thinkers, constantly contemplating their role in society. --- Don't Stress, Become #Phresh ... Copied to Clipboard!

Cats have an extremely long short-term memory of about 16 hours. So individual, one-off actions only stay with them for 16 hours. But they will learn repeated interactions. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed ... Copied to Clipboard!

Even mice have the ability to remember things on the order of at least days without it being operant or classically conditioned. Look up the novel object recognition test. People just say things like this because they simply don't understand the underlying behavior of the animal by watching them and so they ascribe a lower existence to them. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ...

When I searched it I didn't find a lot of great sources but I'll share what I found. https://www.livescience.com/58602-do-cats-dogs-have-long-term-memories.html https://www.dailypaws.com/cats-kittens/behavior/cat-psychology/do-cats-remember-people What I'm getting from these is that cats are good at remembering things that are related to their survival, like memories involving food or involving people they've directly interacted with. Other things aren't necessarily going to stick with them as well. The first article also notes that it depends on the age of the cat as well. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

I shoo and chase it away because I don't want to mark its territory on my stuff. Like my TV in the living room. Anytime it would sneak up there it would run away too its hiding spot.

Cats are definitely affected by death beyond knowing when their time is almost up. One of my cats went lethargic and lost weight for awhile after the cat she grew up with died.
