Sorry to be macabre here - especially since I'm new. My wife and I have 4 inside/outside cats. The oldest has been looking sickly suddenly and we haven't seen him in a day or two - very unusual. We have spent a good amount of time searching the woods behind our house for him, but the undergrowth is VERY thick. I have heard when cats know they are going to die, they find a place away from home and simply lay down and "go to sleep". Is this and urban legend or is it normal for a cat to die in the domicile it lived in. I'm clueless in these issues; we never had a cat die of old age. Thanks for any help!!
