It's possible, however it is unlikely to happen because it can be affected by many things and we can't just tell it to the cat. for example if one cat manages to leave the house and has an accident outside, the other cat will not understand and will just keep waiting for the one cat to come back. If the second cat actually sees the first cat dead and he/she might understand but then again he will not understand why or how it happened. It's hard for people to understand animals but if the owner knows the cat well enough he/she can notice cat's mood and behaviour changes.

I think it depends on the cat. My mom had a cat and her kitten died and for like the next year or two she was looking for her kitten.

What to do when a visiting cat is jealous of your cat's skills in touch pet cats?

I believe this is so because when another another cat enters the house the currently living-there cat is wondering Why do you bring another cat here? I am your cat! So I believe that the cat is jealous that another cat is in the house or you have recently touched another cat. Your cat has picked up the scent of that other cat. I know this because of experiences with my cat. Your cat is jealous that the other cat interacted with you.

Unless your cat died of an infectious disease, like feline leukemia, there is no 'correct' waiting time. You will have to decide when you feel ready to have another cat in the house.
