Default Do other cats know a cat is dying?

Cats are not pack animals.


I think my cats would be lost without each other. They do so many
things together you'd think they were littermates. But some days
they're off playing by themselves and taking naps in different
rooms. I wouldn't call them pack animals but they sure do enjoy the
company of their own kind when kept as pets.


I think that's because when they are kept as pets they never truly
grow up. They retain a lot of kitten behaviors that an adult cat
would not naturally have.



They certainly aren't pack animals like dogs are, but sometimes you
see felines hunting in packs and other times they're solitary. At
least on the Nature Channel.
