Cats are very spiritual. When they have a premonition that they are about to die, they will do some things to say goodbye to their owners. To be honest, if an old cat has the following 5 behaviors, it is actually saying goodbye to you. Don’t you know it!
The old cat's "farewell" behavior:
"Handling the relics"
Usually the poop collector will always miss some small objects, such as rubber bands, small clips, remote controls, socks, etc., which may have been picked up by the cat. He left and hid, or fell under the sofa. The cat knows where these items are, but it just won’t help its owner find them.
If an old cat suddenly one day finds all the things you have lost for a long time, it is actually giving away the relics.
"Exceptionally clingy"
Cats are often very cold and don't like to talk to people and need time alone. But sometimes cats can be very clingy. It mainly depends on the cat’s mood. When an old cat has a premonition that they are about to die, they will become extremely clingy and follow their owners wherever they go.
If your cat is usually clingy, it will be difficult for you to discover this, so you must cherish your cat!
"Leave a scent"
For cats, they pay great attention to smell. When they identify something, they will leave their own scent on that thing, so that they can occupy that thing. Moreover, when the old cat bids farewell to its owner, it will also rub itself on the items in the house and keep rubbing on people!
The cat wants to leave its own scent on this territory that once belonged to it, and it also hopes that the owner will not forget it.
"Kitten symptoms appear"
When cats are kittens, they like to step on their owners' milk. The act of stepping on milk is a behavior that kittens do to their mother cats to promote milk secretion so that the cats can have enough milk to drink. After the cat reaches adulthood, this behavior will slowly disappear and rarely appears again.
If an old cat suddenly behaves like a young cat towards you, as if it has rejuvenated, it is actually saying goodbye to you.
"Go out frequently"
Some cats often sneak out to play without even their owners knowing. For these cats, when they are about to die, they will go out to find their last hiding place and will not choose to die at home. If an old cat goes out frequently and comes back again, it is actually saying goodbye to you.
The cat is looking for its last hiding place outside, and then never comes home again. Stop being so stupid!
The life span of cats is indeed very short for us, but in fact, by raising them carefully, we can extend the life of cats and let them stay with us for a longer time.

Therefore, generally sterilized cats will live 1 to 2 years longer than cats without sterilization. If you want to extend the life of your cat, it is recommended to choose the appropriate stage to have your cat neutered.
"Pay attention to the mental health of cats"
The mental health of cats will affect their physical health and life span. If you want your cat to live longer, you must pay attention to the cat's mental health, do not beat or scold the cat at every turn, and insist on interacting with the cat every day. You can also reward it with some small snacks to make the cat happy.
