my cat did two of these before she died this year, she started wanting to cuddle much more and on the last day before she died, she hid behind the sofa and slept in the corner there
This is not quite correct since animals aren't aware of their own mortality. The reason animals "find a secluded place to die" is the same reason humans want peace and quiet when we're sick.
The last one is actually true! I don't know about the others but when cats are close to dying they DO tend to hide in a quiet and secure place, but it's mostly for their own sake so they can pass in peace :)
