What do cats actually remember — and for how long?

In this episode of Cat Talk Radio, Molly DeVoss and Dewey Vaughn unpack the science behind feline memory and learning. From emotionally charged experiences and routines to food locations, handling, and familiar people, cats remember far more than we often realize — just not the way humans do.

You'll learn:

• Why fear-based memories can last months or even a lifetime
• How cats remember people through scent, voice, and routine
• Why punishment backfires and reinforces the wrong memories
• How understanding memory helps you change behavior compassionately

If you've ever wondered whether your cat is "holding a grudge," panics at the carrier, or wakes you up at the same time every morning — this episode explains why.
