Memory
Taken as a whole, cats have excellent memories. However, relationships with humans, individual differences in intelligence, and age may affect memory. Cats adapt to the environment that they are in easily because they can recall what they have learned in the past and adapt these memories to the current situation to protect themselves throughout their lives.

Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
““I have done it,” says my memory. “I cannot have done it,” says my pride, refusing to budge. In the end—my memory yields.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“That you’re wavin’ from the backroads by the rivers of my memory ever smilin’
Ever gentle on my mind.”
—John Hartford (b.1937)
