In the wild many animals go off to die alone away from the pack, this is to avoid the smell from their bodies drawing predators back to their family or young.
A cat going off to die is its one final act of loyalty to its family. Dying alone so it can protect others.
Yes though it isn't hiding, it's usually their favourite spot or somewhere peaceful and quiet.
Sometimes yes because of his or her instinct they run away or hide so they don't get eaten.
It could very well run away.
because they want to
Because It's a game to them or they want to get a way from it.
Well, yes i had many cats and usually they run away if u come closer to them.
no because they are afraid of us more than we fear them
It depends on the dog.
they would do that to run away from the "ultimate preditor." death. most cats think that they can hide from death and that's why most cats hide before they die
actually some cats do, it depends on if you have trained them to do it. the cats that don't come either have not beed traind to come on call, or they are just to idapendant. (cats are a verry independent race, that is why they often wander off to be by themselfs.)
this is a good answer above
yes because when a cat steps on a needle it will get hurt or its fur will get stuck and run away
they wouldn't run away just because you touched them though they may get a little worried or angry. But my Friend, she gave away the kittens, so the mummy cat disappeared and never came back
