Pets do remember...my MIL’s cat always greeted me with joyful enthusiasm every time we visited, and until he was neutered he didn’t really like anyone. He’d headbutt my face, try to bite my nose (which was the ultimate show of affection from him, reserved only for his MOST favorite ppl), and cuddle up close. I saw him a few times a year but he would go just as nuts after 6 months as if he’d only been shut out for the night.
I miss him :-(
I wonder what it is smell or do they remember faces? I understand recognizind family who they always see but people that they rarely see?
I love cats. My husband and kids, however, don’t so I haven’t had a cat in many many years. I am a dog lover now.
