In addition, when the one cat was in his last hours, and crying out in a pained meow (2 am, and the vet didn't open until 8am) the other cat would come to him, and meow back, lay at my feet (I was sitting on the floor with cat #1 and cradling him) touching the other cat and me. The cat who died wasn't his provider, guardian, or protector. He was his Dad, and buddy. I believe they mourn. I believe most animals recognize when one of their group/pack/herd is hurt, ill, or dying, and react to it. Is it the same as a human mourning? I believe so.....

I don't know how anyone can watch something like this and deny that animals can feel grief and mourn.
