Does she remember?

I think animals in general are very intelligent creatures, and no doubt do remember there life as it was before someone like you who had the kindness to take her in and nurse her back to health. I can't help thinking how grateful pets may be say if they are in a shelter situation and they finally get their new forever home. On the negative side though, I know a few people who have adopted pets who had been previously abused and often remain timid at the slightest thing that happens to them...our Gabs adopted Gissi who was abused and despite all the love she showers Gissi, he still can get upset at times..so yes, animals do remember their "former" life whether good or bad. I had to give up a number of cats..it was either that or be evicted as my mother had created a population problem....I often wonder....do they remember me and the love I did give them?

Who can know the memory of an animal, let alone its "mind" at all? But I do bet, regardless of her "knowledge" the Love, trust, affection, kinship, security, etc., serves to remind her (in a sense) of her place with you.

Well, Taj doesn't remember being outside, but he does remember not liking outside - he doesn't get as upset during thunderstorms as he used to, but he is still bothered by them - I don't think she remembers the specifics, but she may remember not liking it

Supposedly, I read somewhere that they can remember (provided that part of their brain isn't affected by malnutrition)that they can remember up to a year. I don't know who figured it out or how they figured it out, but supposedly that's true. But I know rescued dogs and cats that are still terrified by people or certain things for years or all their lives, so I wonder what they're basing it on.

Some animals can remember a lot of things that happened in there life just like people do but animals though intend to forgive and forget because all they really want is for someone to love them and look after them.

I am sure she still remembers her life while she was alone and hungry.she just concentrates on living at the moment.she is grateful that she belongs to a family now.she is grateful everyday.she is given a chance to live her life inside a warm,comfortable house,with food,water,and a family that loves her.

November of 2004 must have been a good month, because that is the month that I met my husband. I'm glad your kitty found a wonderful new home, and has all the water she can possibly drink, and all the food she could possibly eat.

I don't think so,there are no studies if the cat still remember where she had been. I am not really sure about that. Maybe when a cat is happy they finally forget where they were before.

I'm sure she'll remember every time when hungry, thirsty, and have a place to stay. My cat ever throw away from home with their children, but strangely she could find a way to go home even had to cross the road and dangerous.
