This is a difficult question to answer, as no-one really knows. One theory is that the cat finds a quiet, private place to live out its last days in peace, where it can feel safe and comfortable.

What is your cat saying if it wags its tail?
Cats don't really "wag their tails". If your cat is lashing its tail from side to side, it's probably upset about something. A cat may twitch the tip of its tail, which is somewhat different; it doesn't seem to really mean anything other than "I can twitch the tip of my tail, so I think I'll do that." That's not entirely true; cats usually twitch the tip of their tails when they are hunting.
Why do cats blink?
Cats don't blink because they don't need to. We blink to moisturize our eyes. But cats' eyes are different in many ways, one of them being that their tear ducts continually release moisture without blinking. It stands to reason that cats developed this trait over time in order to be better hunters and evade predators. In the wild, that split second blink could be the difference between eating and starving as prey run out of sight, or living and dying when running from a predator. Those cats who blinked less survived and passed along the trait to their offspring. Now all cats have it. -Zach Attebery
