The cat still recognizes its owner after not seeing him for a year. Cats have a relatively high IQ, equivalent to that of a 2-3 year old child, and cats have a very sensitive sense of smell. If a cat has a very close relationship with its owner, it will quickly recognize the owner through smell, vision, etc., but If the relationship between the cat and its owner is not close enough, the cat's reaction will be very dull or even unresponsive when meeting again.

How do cats remember their owners?

1. Remember the owner through the sense of smell.

Cats’ sense of smell is no worse than that of dogs. It can even be said to be more sensitive than some dogs’ sense of smell. For example, when you raise cats, do you often find cats? Sensitive to all kinds of smells? Separated by several meters, as long as cats smell something they don't like, they will run away immediately.

Cats’ vision is relatively poor. Cats can see very few things and the distance they can see is very close. Therefore, cats’ sensitive sense of smell can help them make up for the visual gap.

A cat remembers its owner by constantly remembering the smell of its owner.

2. Cats can also remember their owners through their voices and habits when they get along with them.

Cats can distinguish the owner’s voice, and when the cat gets along with the owner, the cat owner can remember the owner’s living habits.
