Absolutely!!!

I've had cats since I was 4 years old, so that would be ohhh, almost 55 years.

YES! They have feelings! I don't know how people think otherwise. My daughter and I almost lost one of my cats due to depression. Our beloved Macho died, and Tink, his constant companion, grieved heavily. She couldn't eat and became anorexic and lethargic and didn't care anymore. It was SO sad!!

We almost lost her. Had to force feed and water her for a long time, pick her up and carry her to her litter box. It was a struggle of a time for us because we did this for weeks on end. I'd have to run home at lunch every day to force feed her. We were about to give up when she finally showed up in the kitchen, licked some water and nibbled just a few pieces of food. We breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She is now my senior citizen cat and 18 years old and the sweetest baby.

Yes they have feelings AND memories!
