Studies have shown cats have object permanence recognition, an awareness of objects that aren’t directly visible. That is, out of sight doesn’t mean vanished forever 🐈👀 Human babies progress through the concept in six stages within their first two years and reach a true understanding of the fifth stage when they are approximately 12 months old. Studies show that cats mastered Stage 5, in which they saw a desirable object such as tasty food, and then it disappeared behind a box. The cats searched for and found the food. Studies of Stage 6 have shown mixed results. In some, cats were unable to reach Stage 6, invisible displacement, in which the object is hidden without the cat seeing it moved. Other studies found cats capable of Stage 6 object permanence when a different, more species-relevant methodology was used 🐱📚 Cats clearly have a superior ability to learn new information, mesh it with existing information, recall it, and use that information in other situations. This cognitive ability makes them card-carrying members of the highly intelligent class. We may never know the full depth of feline cognitive abilities, but their keen aptitude continues to surprise us 🐈‍⬛ FOLLOW us for more cat facts, tips and daily cuteness 🐱📚🪄 #catvideo #catfacts #catreels #catstudies #tricolor #lovecats #catacademy #catexpert #catknowledge #adorablecats #dailycat #reel #petfluencer #cataddict #felinelovers #catsofinstagram #catbrain #catscience #catsoftiktok
