Can a cat commit suicide by slashing their limbs with their claws? - I know it's extremely sad, tasteless and stupid but is it possible?

[Alex Hogendorp]

Under some extremely unfortunate circumstances a cat bleeds to death by scratching itself with claws. This is research in odds of biology and I would hate to see it happen IRL due to how absurd and unfortunate it is.

 

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

I don't think cats are self-aware or intelligent enough to understand what suicide is, let alone enact it. They're probably dumb or unfortunate enough to accidentally cut themselves and bleed to death, though. It's in the vein of a dog getting a broken leg and licking it, in the hope of making it better. They can harm themselves to that degree, yet be unable to do anything about it.

Only if you don't use its pronouns.
