Whether a cat will say goodbye to its owner before it dies is not a definitive answer. Some believe that cats, knowing they are about to pass away, will express their reluctance to leave and their farewell through specific behaviors, such as frequently licking or rubbing against their owner, or leaving their scent in the house. These behaviors may be an instinct, or they may be a manifestation of their deep affection for their owner.

However, these behaviors cannot be scientifically proven, and each cat has a different personality and behavioral habits, so it cannot be asserted that all cats will say goodbye in this way.
