Cat Intelligence

You will find out that once a cat learns something, it will never forget. Even if your cat learns something that you would prefer it did not know, it will retain this information for life. Cat intelligence is high and they can remember everything. For instance, taking a kitten that was born outdoors will learn to hunt for food. When you bring this cat indoors, its memory will remain.

If the cat would get outside, it will naturally hunt for food. Even the best-fed cat indoors will still have that instinct to hunt for food. It may not eat its catch, but it will have the memory of how to hunt and bring home the catch.

If the cat would have a bad experience with a dog, it will retain that memory and believe that all dogs are bad and should be avoided. It may have had to defend itself from the dog and will continue to do this for every dog. You can however, teach the cat that the dog is nice by introducing them to each other for a few minutes every day.

Cat intelligence is higher than a humans is. If you cat has heard you rattle a bag and then produce a treat for them, they will come running every time you bring home a bag, even if it only happened once or twice. They associate that sound with a treat. You will be surprised at what your cat remembers.
