Everyone has their own opinion about cats’ memory ability. Some people believe cats have very good memory and might be able to recognize things they encountered a month ago. However, some owners think cats’ memory is poor because sometimes they don’t remember things that happened an hour ago. Cat owners all want their cats to remember things, but how exactly can we make cats remember?

　　Strictly speaking, cats’ memory is not very strong. We often say that if you want to reward or punish a cat, you should do so right after it makes a mistake or behaves well. Don’t bring up old matters after a few days, because cats simply don’t remember what happened days ago. Such praise or criticism would be meaningless to cats.
