7 Facts About How Cats’ Brains Work

Small but Mighty: A cat's brain is about 0.9% of its total body weight, compared to a human's 2%.

Highly Developed Memory: Cats have an excellent long-term memory and can remember people, places, and experiences for years.

Neocortex Power: The neocortex, responsible for problem-solving, is more developed in cats than in dogs, enabling complex thinking.

Independent Thinkers: Cats use their brains to solve problems independently and are often less trainable than dogs due to their more self-reliant nature.

Emotional Sensitivity: Cats’ brains are highly sensitive to emotions, both their own and others', making them adept at sensing changes in their environment.

Highly Visual: Cats have excellent night vision, aided by the large number of rods in their retinas, which helps them in dim lighting.

Social Bonds: Cats form strong emotional attachments to their owners, a behavior governed by the same brain areas that control human attachment.
