Fibrous pericardium and serous pericardium. The serous pericardium is made up of an outer parietal layer that is fused to the fibrous pericardium and an inner visceral layer (aka epicardium) that is a layer of the heart wall and adheres tightly to the heart.

Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)
The space between the parietal and visceral layers of the pericardium is called the pericardial cavity and it is filled with a thin layer of fluid called pericardial fluid. The pericardial fluid lubricates the two membranes, allowing them to glide over each other without any friction when the heart beats.
Parietal pericardium doesn't actually touch the heart. If you imagine the pericardium is like a balloon filled with water, which cradles the heart, the surface or membrane touching it is called the 'visceral pericardium'. whilst the membrane that isn't touching it is called the 'parietal pericardium'. The parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium are continuous with each other meaning there is no distinct point that tells you where one starts and the other ends
The pericardium of a cat is arranged around the spinal nerves. The pericardium is made up of various fibrous tissues in felines.
No, visceral pericardium attached to the surface of the heart. The parietal pericardium attached to the wall.

parietal pericardium
Yes, the visceral pericardium adheres to the outside surface of the myocardium (heart muscle), while the parietal pericardium lies outside of the visceral pericardium. There is a small amount of lubricating fluid between these two membranes in the potential space known as the pericardial space. If an abnormal amount of fluid of any kind builds up in this space, it is called a pericardial effusion.
Epicardium or inner layer of serous pericardium is the innermost layer of pericardium.
