1. Felines posess a higher pain threshold than other animals.

or

2. Felines feel the same amount of pain but express their suffering less
than other animals ?


Absolutely #2 is correct. Cats, by their very nature as predators, will not
exhibit pain, in most instances. Some vets are now of the opinion that cats
when having surgery should be given pain medication, instead of just thinking
they aren't in pain because they don't show it.
