  • I would say yes, to a limited degree, for a limited time, sometimes.

    So I have a number of outdoor cats, and there was one time I went outside and one of my cats had died. Idek from what. His brother was just right beside him, sniffing him, trying to get him to move. I was like ooooh, this isn’t good. I quickly grabbed the dead cat & moved out of sight, buried him.

    But that damn cat wouldn’t let it go. For a good couple days, he just had this thousand yard stare & a sad moaning meow. He discovered death, he seemed to realize death applies to everyone. Himself included. It reminded me of my own epiphany when I was 7 or 8, I almost wanted to chuckle a bit, it’s like yeah bro welcome to the club. Death is our shared fate. Just try not to fixate on it.

    So my cat’s limit was about 2 days. After that, he seemed to move on & he was back to being happy again. Some extra seafood, catnip, and pets helped coax him out of the slump.
