Is it bad if I don't remember all the functions in the cstring (and other) headers, such as strcat()? Or is it not normal to remember all those, but rather to have a reference book and refer to it? I remember ones that I use a lot like sizeof or strlen(), but I keep forgetting some.
It's not bad to forget them since they're easy to look up, I often have to look up the member functions of built in types, but many would say it is bad to use cstrings, why not use std::strings?

Well, it's probably good to know them. They can actually come in handy, especially if you want to use C libraries or write C compatible libraries.
But there's no reason to remember them by force if you have a reference. If you need them often you'll remember them soon enough.
