There is a good reason for this. Efficient predators pick the young, the old and the sick. They're easier to catch and less risk to the predator. Individuals who hid had a better chance of surviving predation while recovering.
That makes sense and probably why the cat formerly known as 'dead' didn't return home for several days.
