After Living As A Stray For More Than Six Years Out Of The Blue One Day She Sees Her Former Owner!

Jon called Julie’s name, whereupon a black cat emerged from its hiding place for a joyful reunion.

The reunion was made even more special as Jon had been cancer-free for quite some time.

Jon has definitely been a very lucky man, he’s defeated cancer, and through another miracle after 6 years, he found his long lost cat.

Julie was in good shape when Jon first saw her, no major illnesses, her coat was nice and shiny and there were no signs of hunger or deprivation. Most lost pets don’t fare very well when lost on the streets, not having the necessary life skills to survive. In Julie’s case, it is likely she was doing so well through the kindness of strangers.

It seems, though, she must have encountered some problems along the way. Jon was told she was very cautious with people. She would remain in her hiding place at all times.

Only leaving to eat or drink what people had left out for her. Which makes her sudden reemergence, when Jon called her name, all the more remarkable.

Clearly, she recognized him and trusted him, in spite of all of the hardship she had been through. Which Begs The Question, How Good Are Cats At Recognising Us?

In short, cats are not good at recognizing human faces. To elaborate, they are so bad at recognizing human faces that when presented with pictures of their owners as well as other humans in a scientific study, their chances of recognizing their owners were no better than 54 percent.

For comparison purposes, cats were much better at recognizing other cats, seeing as how that had a 91 percent success rate.

To be honest, this isn’t that surprising. Cats were not domesticated through the same set of circumstances as their canine counterparts. Meaning that they developed in different ways.

In other words, cats never developed the same ability to recognize human faces that dogs possess because they never faced the same pressure to do so, meaning that their failure in this regard says nothing about whether they care about humans or not.

In fact, it should be mentioned that while cats are bad at recognizing human faces, there is evidence to suggest that they can use their other senses to make up for that particular deficit. For instance, another scientific study revealed that cats are actually quite good at distinguishing between their owners’ voices and the voices of strangers.

Likewise, other scientific studies suggest that cats’ sense of smell is more than good enough for them to pick up on the unique scents of their owners.

Combined with the ability of cats to recognize patterns, this means that cats are perfectly capable of recognizing their owners, just not by the same means that we humans would use.

Still, the fact that Julie recognized her owner so readily says a lot about the strength of the bonds that can form between cats and humans. Something that makes this story that much more heart-warming.
