The very idea that tigers have the mental faculties to remember exactly who taunted them is totally ridiculous - but we live in an age where people even believe in human induced global warming!

Cats, in general, have tremendous memories. They need that capability so they can retrieve caches of meat they’ve hidden around their range.
