Cats can sense when they are abandoned. Besides, they are emotional animals, so of course they know when they are abandoned. If we pet owners truly love our cats, we shouldn't abandon them.

In fact, when cats realize they've been abandoned, they usually show signs of reluctance and sadness. Furthermore, once abandoned, cats may develop a distrust of humans, and during this time they will also experience significant distress due to the change in their living environment. In more extreme cases, they may exhibit behaviors such as excessive grooming, refusing to eat or drink.
