Can two female cats fall in love?

Is it possible for two female cats to develop a romantic bond or fall in love, despite not being biologically programmed to mate with each other? Have researchers observed any behaviors in female cats that could be interpreted as affection or attachment towards one another, going beyond mere companionship or friendship? Could such a bond be influenced by external factors, such as the absence of male cats or a shared living environment? What are the implications of this question for our understanding of animal behavior and social dynamics within cat populations?
