Researchers have found that a cat's memory is comparable to a 2-3 year old's. Generally, cat's with a closer relationship to their owner will have more memory of the owner than a cat not very close with the owner. This explains why if you have a cat for two or three years, give it away, and then, a month or so later, take it back, it will still remember you and recognize you.
Answering your question, cat's short term memory is only about 16 hours ( a dog's is only about five minutes if your wondering), though their long term memory is truly exceptional. Their long term memory is very long.
