Cats moving house
6 Answers
What's the length of a cat's memory? We moved about 4 weeks ago, taking the cats with us, while the house was underpinned. We'll be moving back in about 3 weeks. Will the cats remember the place, even though it will smell different - will we need to keep them inside in case they try to find their way 'home', forgetting they're there already?

My family (including 2 cats) moved abroad for 3 years and came back to the same house. We used to let them out of a particular window in the kitchen and they remembered! As soon as they got back and had explored, they both went and sat by the same window, just as they had 3 years before.
