I have 2 cats which will be going into the Cattery whilst we are away.

I always feels awful about leaving them, do you think cats bear grudges?

Do they have a concept of time?

How long do cats remember you for. I always have this fear that i will come
back they wont remember me.

When I was in the hospital for 13 days for my first hip operation, my
Princess was slightly cautious when I was brought home in a wheelchair.
But after carefully sniffing around for a few minutes she jumped into my
lap and said "I missed you".

My old cat (she was 15+ at the time) had not seen my mother for months.
Ma came to visit, sat in a chair. Cat sniffed around, walked back and
forth telling her "I want up on your lap."

I think they don't have much of a time sense (although they sure know
when it's Time to Eat!!) but they'll be glad when you're back. None of
mine holds a grudge (e.g. keep your tail away from my feet and you
won't get it stepped on!) but they do learn.

Enjoy your trip, bring 'em a souvenir.

I expect they will be glad to see you when you get back.

The only concept of time my cats have is feeding time.
