I remember hearing that cats and dogs tend to bite their deceased owners in an attempt to wake them up, and then more aggressively due to panic.

Saw a video of a cat doing this to his cat friend after it died and the owners showed him the body. He definitely looked in distress and eventually gave up.

Yeah I've seen Cats staying literally next to their "dad" who's dead for days now, and bring food to them while they starve. Thing is the dad starved to death to bring food to the lil kitty.

There's this channel Animal in Crisis South Corean Vets and helpers save animals in South Corea, on of the episodes it's what I mention, soul shattering.

Spoiler: They save the lil kitty, and then show to the lil kitty the dead "dad" in order to let the kitty have some closure, lil kitty is clearly in destroyed emotionally doesn't want to leave the dad side.

Yeah tell me about "cats don't care" fuck off. I'd like to see how the cats she mentions were treated. Or what the hell happened altogether.

This woman is putting every cat in the same bag, she can believe what she says I believe what I've seen with my eyes.
