Cats
💡Cats are smarter than they let on to be. The exact amount that a cat will remember depends on their individual brain and experiences. For instance, a cat that had trauma in their life (being abused, etc.) might remember much more than the average cat or much less. Overall, cats usually have a good memory. Research shows that cats have both short and long-term memory, just like humans 🐈💭
🐱 For cats, short-term memory is important to help them solve problems. In addition, research also shows that cats excel when it comes to short-term memory and food. For instance, when a cat needs to find their prey, they can remember where they hunted earlier that night. If you put down your cat’s food in a corner and they walk away from it, they can remember where it was.
🐱 The long-term memory span of a cat varies from one cat to the next, as well. A cat’s long-term memory is the memories they have from when they were younger. These kinds of memories are kept in a certain area of the cat’s brain and they can be brought up when the cat wants them. For example, your cat might show that they prefer or despise a certain person. This could be from their long-term memories of being around that person.
🐈⬛ Since cats do have long-term memories, they can hold a grudge. For instance, your cat might not like it when you hiss at them. Maybe you hissed at your cat when they were just a little kitten and scared them. They aren’t likely to forget that you did this to them. Most professionals believe that lifelong memories are stuck because of something very negative or positive that happened.
💭 It is important to know that cats can have memory issues when they are dying or sick. They might not have an appetite or they might forget to use their litter box. Sometimes it is just a temporary behaviour change. Other times, it has to do with a cat’s memory.

House Horse
Have you ever seen a house horse? Peabody was the smallest horse in the world weighing just 19lbs. He was abandoned by his mother because he was too small to reach her udder. He couldn't walk due to his legs not functioning properly, he couldn't eat properly like other horses because his jaw was out of alignment, and he was also deaf and blind. The incredible @faithfulminis decided to take him in and attempt to give him the best life possible. Unfortunately, Peabody passed away in Sept 2021 but he will always be remembered!
