Will supplying her a photo of her cat only prolong the memory? She is in AL and keeps asking for a photo of her beloved cat. I have decorated her room with lots of photos of family, friends and favorite singers, sports heroes beautiful scenes, fish, etc. She plans to go home to the cat one day and has no idea the cat and her home are gone and that is not an option. I never plan to tell her that, since it serves no purpose. I have learned that eventually, she is not likely to recognize anyone. Should I supply the cat photo of just keep putting it off? I don't want to prolong her memory of the cat if it will distress her.

I previously gave her one of those Purfect Petz, but she didn't bond with it. They are are lifelike pets that purr and slightly move, as if breathing, as they sleep. (battery operated) The fake cat looked much like her real cat, but she just never liked it. She actually hid it in a drawer.
I might try a stuffed cat that has a different color from her cat and see if that helps. I think she thought she was betraying her cat if she loved on a fake one.
I'm sure she'll love it.
