Scientists explored the physiology of these animals almost perfectly, but the inner world of these creatures is still hidden from us behind many mysterious seals. For example, many are interested in how the memory works in cats, what is its duration, how differently these people from other people learn the information.
Is there a memory in cats?
Experiments on this subject have been carried out repeatedly. Show the cat where the delicacies are hidden, remove them from the room for half an hour, and they will unerringly find them. True, in a day, many animals will forget about hidden hiding places, and only some will start looking for food there . This indicates a good short-term memory, but with long-term memory the situation is more complicated.
How long does the memory last for cats?
It turns out that our purrs have an elective memory. If people can remember a lot of little things that do not mean anything to them, fluffy pets try to capture only those events that have a special role in life. Already giving birth to a cat becomes an even better mother, perfectly caring for the crumbs, she knows all the nuances of raising children. But our ward quickly forgets her sons and daughters after growing up, especially when the family is separated for a while.
The memory of cats has an interesting effect on people. If a person is casual for them, then they forget his smell , but our handsome men know their owner perfectly, distinguishing him well from the rest. Also, a cat quickly remembers outsiders who frighten them or cause their own pain. Knowing that from such a guest you can expect trouble, the animal can even attack him or meet him with hiss.
Scientists who occupied questions, what memory in cats, declare that in their "halls of mind" these animals tend to store only the most important information, filtering mercilessly secondary data. They are able, if necessary, to extract them from the brain and react lightly to any situation when they meet a person, some animal or a familiar object. But to scroll in the head of "cinema", as people, remembering different moments from a distant or recent past, our pets do not know how.
