cat dies

Question
My kitten recently got hit by a car &we tried to get it to live but her back legs wouldnt work, and she slowly died, but my other two cats, her mom and her brother have been actly really funny lately, they just lay around and they wont come to eat or anything, i was wondering if it had anything to with my kitten dying or maybe just the heat.
so basically my question is do cats realize when one of their family dies?

Answer
Hi Lacie,

I'm sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a little one. Cats do realize when one of their own is gone. But they don't mourn like we do. Yes their not eating could be part of their mourning. I am giving you a recipe for something called kitty glop. This will help them get back to eating again. Time will also help them. They will get over the loss faster than you or I do. Again, I'm sorry.

Ciao, Karen
