Don't own a cat, but the part where the cat goes across the city to the family's old house and back....
They remember.
my grandfather and his brother had separate farms miles away. they used to keep cats in the barn to eat all the mice and keep order in there, because cats are like animal generals, they keep shyt organized and clean. one time my grandfather sent a kitten to his brother, put the cat in a box and drove him it over there, dropped it off. no way the cat saw anything, just sat in a box in a moving car for 30 minutes
cat showed up like 2 days later like
if you think cats are evil or disloyal you lost, my girl is sitting with me right now keeping me warm
