Someone posted that amazing and touching website with the videos of the soldiers being greeted by their dogs (that I've watched about 100 times now).
It's gotten me to thinking - do cats have the same kind of long term memory for their owners as dogs? If you were gone away for months - would your cat be as happy to see you - or would they even remember - or care?
I have no idea if cats (a) have the same memory as dogs and (b) have the same level of attachment to their owners.
What do you guys think? I know some of you have had both pets for many, many years whereas I am very new to cat ownership, so I'm not sure. I know my cat is happy to see me at the end of the day - but would he care if it were weeks or months?
Looking forward to your input!
