I was just getting ready to hit the sack. I'd been going through my box of old photos, thinking to maybe put a few more on CD, when Flame ambled along, and sniffed the box. I held up a photo of mum: "Look Flame! I've got a picture of mommy!" I held it up to her. "Remember mommy flamey?"
Do you know, she got all excited? She sniffed the pic up and down--got her face up to it and actually seemed to be staring at the photo. Then, I asked, "Do you remember mommy, Flame?" She jumped up, all aquiver, and TOUCHED THE PHOTO WITH HER PAW! Her eyes sparkled. I said, "Mommy's gone sweetie, but I know whereever she is, she still loves you, very much." Flame went, "rowr!" and, crouching down, wiggled her bottom and sprang off into the bedroom, joyfully.
I know maybe she just thought I was playing with her, or maybe it was just the way I was speaking to her--but man, I don't think so. Flame, during mum's last days at home, stayed by her, morning, noon and night. Flame's a little nurse-cat. She's very caring and sensitive to upsets and illnesses. When I cam home from my stay at hospital, several weeks ago, Flame stayed right by me in bed the whole time I was recovering. Minute I felt better--she went off to sleep elsewhere. Flame's got her quirks, but she's a real sweetheart.

Yeah I think she remember your mom because I have notice that my cats do remember things. They usually are very afraid of strange people but when they have met them once they remember that this person was nice when she or he comes again after several years. Cats are clever, my favourite animals
