What kind of memory do cats have

They remember the gait, voice and other characteristics of the person who feeds them, and will run up to him even after a while.

They will not approach a place or person that has hurt, frightened, or threatened their safety and survival.

Cats remember not only the appearance of their person, but also his smell, because each person has an individual smell, and this allows the animal to identify its owner.

The cat remembers these smells well, and they remain in her memory for a long time.
