Modern cognitive research has revolutionised our understanding of feline intelligence. Dr. Ádám Miklósi's research at Eötvös Loránd University demonstrates that cats possess sophisticated problem-solving abilities, including the capacity for insight learning and tool use. Video analysis of cats solving puzzle boxes reveals cognitive strategies previously attributed only to primates.

Cats demonstrate both short-term and long-term memory capabilities that rival many other animals. Research published in Animal Cognition shows that cats can remember human faces and voices for years, learn complex behavioural sequences, and adapt their behaviour based on past experiences. This explains why regular visitors to cat cafes often develop special relationships with specific cats who remember and respond to them uniquely.

​

The implications of this research extend to cat cafe management and visitor experience. Understanding how cats learn and remember allows staff to create enriching environments that challenge feline intelligence while providing educational opportunities for guests. When you book cat cafe experiences repeatedly, you're participating in ongoing relationships with genuinely intelligent animals.
