Answer 2

Of course! They wine and yowl. Not much like crying. And even if they do than you can't really notice it. Their eyes would get teary. Cats have feelings too! (: Take care.

Answer 3

Scientifically, it is believed that cats are deprived of emotions such as grief and depression. It is believed the tears are a result of dust allergy, injury to the eyes and illness like Upper Respiratory Infections.

But, what do these scientists know!? I do not agree that cats can't feel emotions. I believe that cats are very emotional beings, otherwise, they will not get upset with changes in the environment or lack of attention from their owners. But to see a cat cry a river, that I have not experienced personally. But some answers here proved otherwise.

Here's a website with a lot of info on actual cat owner witnessing their cat's tears.
