Lions run in packs as part of a social hierarchy; it protects them from danger and ensures their success as hunters and pro-creators. Domestic cats don't typically have enough other animals with which to run as a pack, though feral cats left to survive outside homes do live in a group.

Most wild cats are not pack animals. Lions are an exception.

I thought lions were in prides...But either way, lions have it much tougher in the wild than the kitty across the street. So lions need the back up. lol

Feral cats actually do go in packs when there is enough food to go around, however some do prefer to go solo as more of a personality quirk.

I have ten cats. All but one are close in age and at least seven of them run in a group. These seven also sleep in a group most of the time.

That is not entirely false.

The would if they needed to hunt in a pack to bring down their kibble.
-
based on both personal eperience and quite a bit of research i agree with the folks that say both feral and "house" cats run in wads if given a group environment
-
feral cats form loose packs if given the opportunity. They don't really hunt together the way lions do, but the lion pride is a pretty unique social grouping among cats. Most of the big cats are solitary, and many of the smaller ones form loose social groups... feral cats are more like them.

In my experience domestic cats do very little that they don't really need to do. They are good at sleeping and at pretending that they generally don't care.

Dood, I would love to see a pride of domestic gatos surrounding larger prey to try and take it down. Picture a gang of super-hungry cats circling a dog, that's just too much awesomeness to think about :)

Lions are the exception in the cat world. They need to stick together in family units but most cats don't. They are solitary hunters and usually lie alone. Cats don't really belong together and that may be why they are known as a clowder or clutter of cats as a group.
