Suze su posljedica infekcije koja je zahvatila njezin dišni sustav. Mačke poznaju emocije poput tuge i depresije, ali ih, u pravilu ne izražavaju suzama, već na druge načine.

Društveni život mačaka predmetom je mnogih istraživanja, ali niti jedno, do sada nije utvrdilo kako mačke plaču zbog straha, tuge ili pretjerane radosti. Bilo je više primjera gdje su mačje suze zabilježene nakon traumatičnih događaja, ali najčešće taj je plač bio posljedicom alergije ili infekcije.
Plakanje je fenomen i kada su u pitanju ljudi, a kamoli životinje. Plačemo kako bismo dali vizualni kontakt da smo ozlijeđeni? Moguće, no to nije razlog zbog kojeg plače i ovo mače.
