My cat will soon turn 8. The adoption was agreed shortly after he was born, but he only came home once he was old enough to stop nursing. He came from a litter of three and was the last one to be picked up.

The other day, I asked my brother if he thinks my cat remembers his two siblings - if he thinks Mentu ever misses them. My brother replied: "You ask me the same thing every year." 😂

So, since I haven’t asked you all every year - what do we think? 😌

Nah, he doesn’t miss them. He’s got a happy loving home and everything he could want. Look at that face!! 😽

But I have seen cats ‘reunite’ with siblings or parents even after many years they will absolutely remember them.

Awww 🥹 thank you! 🫂

I'd love to see some of those videos! Seen plenty of lions or tigers but none of cats after adoption 🥹

Cats don't miss anyone, they're naturally independent and solitary

But they do remember

Hmm... Definitely independent, but I'd debate the solitary part of it

Fair. They like company, but they work alone

Agreed! ✨

Do you think he'll recognize other adult cat he saw last when he was two months old?

I don't quite think they'd recognise each other at first, because they shared only 4 months outside the womb, but I'd like to think they'd sense something after a bit of time. I'd love to try it but I wouldn't know where his siblings are and my cat stresses so much when going in the cage it'd be counterproductive 😂 what's your thoughts?

My thoughts are irrelevant, you know your pet the best:)

No they aren't! This was an open question for everyone's general thoughts on the topic :)

I think he would recognize them after he got the scents. Our pooch lost his buddy a couple years ago and if we mention her, sometimes he still looks around for her. They were only roommates for about 2 years and she was a much older pup.

What a wonderful companion you have with you 🥹 feelings run in all beings 🫂 thank you for sharing!
