Cats (and perhaps other mammals/animals with complex nervous systems) have the tendency to „disappear“ a few days before they die.

I lived in the countryside as a kid and saw several generations of our farm cats come & go. We never found out where and when they died, but all of them lived a long (cat) life and I‘m pretty sure most of them died of old age.

My assumption is that humans can feel that their time is coming as well, and apparently the experience seems to be similar for all of us.

I’ve always wondered if that was a last ditch effort to survive: hide so that no one can attack you while you’re weak.

That's what I was going to say, the only death I directly experienced was a cat, it 100% knew it was going to die, days before

I have absolutely no doubt other animals, including humans, can feel it too (depending on the cause of death of course)
