Why Do Cats Disappear Before They Die? PHOTO/ SINDOnews DOC
JAKARTA – There have been many cases of cats disappearing before being found dead. Usually they go far from their homes and can even disappear when they are dying.
Some of us may wonder why cats perform this ritual. So, to find the answer, see the following explanation, as compiled from various sources on Sunday (3/3/2024).
Actually, there is no research that can fully reveal why cats disappear at the end of their lives. But what is clear is that cats are very intelligent and are able to sense when their death is near.
Many people believe that cats prefer to be alone when sick or dying, away from much human activity. Experts reveal that this cannot be separated from the instinctive nature of cats.
Cats may understand that they are more vulnerable to predators when they are sick or dying. For this reason, hiding is a way for cats to protect themselves from threats.
Cats will usually go to a quiet place and are hard to find before finally resting in peace forever.
Cat owners often have difficulty accepting the fact that their cat would prefer to be away from them when they are dying. Many feel guilty when their cat does this.
But, it is important to remember that cats only react to their instincts. So for owners, never feel irresponsible for the death of the cat.
If you happen to have a dying cat, the best thing is to let the cat sit in a peaceful place and be alone with itself. This may feel heavy.
But this is the best for cats. They will definitely feel happier when they can go peacefully alone. I hope this information is helpful.
