I can't vouch for any five minute span, but I know my current and last cat could both recognize the sound of my vehicles pulling into the driveway, and would be right underfoot the second I opened up the front door...
 
Gimme a break, bro.

My bro's dog barked at the mirror at himself then within a day, he knew that it was his own reflection and he trots past it everyday without a second look. Or the time when my brother's dog was just fine until I noticed that he chewed up my brother's headphones, once I picked it up.The dog looked at me with the headphones in my hand, he gave me puppy-dog eyes, lowered his ears, and whined. He knew what he did was wrong, I hate it when people say~ "oh it's the tone of your voice" yada-yada. I am deaf so I don't really use my voice so what other explanation do you have?

My cats knows that I am deaf and that it was pointless to meow outside so they would get on the windowsill and the visual would let me know that they want in.

What? Animals can't have the dumbasses of the species like humans do?
