Do cats actually miss their owners? An animal expert explains how cats remember people, attach to routines, and adapt when their environment changes.
Among the many myths that circulate about cats, perhaps the best known is the one that attributes great independence to them. But this is not true. Cats are domestic animals. That is, they are dependent on us. But do they miss us? We will find out in this video by an animal expert. Cats are animals of remarkable intelligence. They relate to others using all their senses, and thanks to this, they compose an image and create their memories. In addition, they are animals very attached to their routines. For all these reasons, cats know their environment and family well, missing their owners and in general, their home. If they are separated for this reason, they do not cope well with moving house or being away from their owners when they go on vacation.

Cats miss their owners and their home to such an extent that they will let themselves die when they are abandoned, as the animal shelters that take them in well know. Not all, but a considerable percentage of these animals suffer so much from neglect that they become overwhelmed by stress. They stop drinking and eating and end up getting sick and dying. If we understand the importance that routines have for this species, and we have had the opportunity to see a cat's reaction to a change in its environment, such as the arrival of a fellow animal at home, it is easy to understand the stress caused by losing all its references, both in terms of place, shapes and attachment, since cats, although not in the same way as dogs, do establish an important bond with their reference hand. But how can we understand cats? Here above and in the textbox, we are going to leave you a video in which we talk about the language of cats with key signals and postures. Don't miss it. Cats remember their former owners throughout their lives. Thanks to the bond they establish and the cognitive capacity they demonstrate, they are able to fix the memory of the person they live with and maintain it for years. That's why cats start to miss people if they are separated and can be so affected by abandonment. Luckily, although they never forget their old family, many are able to accept being part of another and be happy again. As we have said, cats miss their owners and remember them throughout their lives. But it is possible to adopt an adult cat, even a very old one, and have it adapt to a new home. To do this, we have to offer it what is known as an enriched environment in which it can carry out the activities typical of the species, such as playing, climbing, scratching, perching on high places from which it watches over its territory, and, of course, sleeping and resting after that, it is just a matter of being patient, not forcing contact and giving it space to adapt to its new home and establishing a new feline human bond with us. Find out more about the arrival of a cat at home, how long it takes to adapt, and how to prepare the home in the video that we have left for you here above and in the text box.
