I am sure mine do. After Stripes died, Squeaky kept urinating on the paper towel roll. I would replace and he'd urinate again. The vet said it was grief. It stopped after a couple weeks ~ dind't have this behavior before or after. They were best pals for 15 years.
After Teddy died, I almost lost Coco. I know she was grieving for him. They were inseparable. It was heartbreaking. She has never been like that with another cat but is with me now.

I figure for the most part mine don't. I am now rethinking that. Being cats they are subtle about their emotions. Well Right now I have 5 cats on my bed, no room for me unless I move one. And Grey and White who shows her dislike for me more often than not has been lovey dovey towards me. Not sure that will last but there does seem to be a change in her behavior. I am was not sure...contemplating taking on another felk cat who is at a Vet Clinic not far from me. However I am not sure how the stress of many cats would affect this cat. I am not sure how a new cat will affect my cats. Mostly they will go OH another one.... I have not talked with the owner yet. She has a home for it in May but cannot house the cat until that time. Anyway, just thinking out loud. Emotionally I am not sure I can handle another 'sick' cat. I know it is a crap shoot with these guys even with the best care. Maybe I will keep him until May. Well I hope everyone is well and the kitties slaves as well :-) Sally -- Sally, Eric (not a cat),Junior(angel), Tiny(angel) Fluffy(soul mate angel), Speedy, Grey and White, Ittle Bitty, Little Black, Lily, Daisy, Pewter, Junior Junior (newest) I call him JJ , Silver, and Spike Please Visit my Message board for some pictures.
