There has always been a saying among the people: "A dead cat hangs on the head of a tree, and a dead dog abandons the water." This sentence means that before death, cats usually find a tree to wait for death quietly, while dogs choose places with flowing water.
Many free-range cats in rural areas choose to leave home when they feel that they have little time. Why do cats leave home when they are "dead"? There are these reasons behind it.
1, Cats are very spiritual. The older generation says that cats know their destiny and will leave home before they die because they are afraid that their owners will be sad. In fact, those cats who ran out were not waiting to die. They wanted to find a quiet place to recuperate and would come back when they recovered. It’s just that some of them are not well maintained and they can’t come back.
2, Cats are still very vigilant in nature. When animals live in groups, if they get sick, they will find a place to hide to prevent themselves from being attacked by natural enemies. It is said that cats can identify herbs that can cure themselves in the wild, and then slowly return to the team after their bodies recover. Those weak and about to die will find a place where no one is waiting to die, and avoid spreading viruses and germs to their peers.
3, Every animal has a natural closeness to nature. When it feels that its deadline is approaching, it wants to return to nature, return to the place where our ancestors live, and return to their roots. The cat also wants to see this natural world at the end.
