do cats have any family feeling?

Dolly's mother, by name of Candace, lives across the street and a few houses down. When she wanders toward our way, Dolly always watches her with interest, and I've often wondered if she knows it's her mother.

Here is Candace -



and here is Dolly watching -



Any ideas?

  1. Well, in my way of thinking, if dogs can somehow smell whether they're from the same pack (or family line, or whatever it is they figure out when they're smelling each other), I suppose cats can, too. You should ask your local librarian.

  2. Good question - I think she would know 'we belong' but not necessarily 'thats my mother'.
