This is way off-topic, but...

I remember reading once the idea that cats can remember the future.

But I am unable to re-locate the source of this idea. Can anyone help ?

episode 53, when jerry dropped the anvil on tom's head.
You might be thinking about about done cats and dogs can tell an earthquake is coming a minute or two before it hits. That's not as much remembering the future as it likely is having a sense that we don't. But, it can feel like it
Instead of a sense we don't, it's probably just picking up on the P-waves instead of first noticing with the S-waves: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/events/1906calif/18a...

Uh, that won't be discovered until 2057.

You aren't by any chance a cat, are you?

closest I know of is the short story: F Lieber, "Space-Time for Springers" (1958)
No, because it's BS.
