Probably not; they aren't naturally pack animals the way wolves are
Yeah it's not such a natural behavior for them to hang out in packs. They like to wander alone. Extremely individualistic animal. You don't own a cat, they tolerate your presence in their home...
Although I did stumble on some kind of large cat group meet in an alleyway on a night walk, a couple of years ago. Having ~20 cats sitting in a circle staring at you in the dark is strangely intimidating...
That happened(s) albeit rarely. Its like seeing rhe cat version of double-rainbow, although not as rare as a double-rainbow-guy
The cats in my neighbourhood tolerate all other humans and cats to live in their territory, oddly those others are mainly in some big, closed things they call houses. Luckily there's always a hole for the cats to get in and out.
Theyβre not distinctly a pack animal but feral cats often form groups to benefit their survival. A cat pack is called a clowder. :)
