According to a University of Michigan study, a dog's memory span is 5 minutes. A cat's is 16 hours.

This one I find most mistaken. When our son and his wife lived with us for a year, he had five cats. When they all moved, cats and humans, they were gone nearly two years when they returned briefly, leaving four cats (one had died - our favorite, naturally) with us.

The three females went on with them, as he was teaching that year in St. Paul, MN. They took one, and their baby son. A bit later I took the two female cats there, leaving the tom with my tom. But, when that little tom cat came back to live with us, after over a year in Virginia - he went right to the back porch and looked around, then looked up at us and I swear that cat smiled. He was home.

My old cat and the little one, Fyador, were tight friends and hunted together as Argos and Max do now. Unfortunately, Fyador had a heart worm and it died, so he also died. But he remember this place after being away for over a year; and he was very happy to be here. He loved frogs, and would dive in the ditch to get them - the water didn't worry him, if there were frog legs waiting!

Animals have much longer memories than we realize.
