I have 5 cats who normally clean and play w/ eachother. One is sick . 2 cats jumped him in his sleep 1 nipped @ him after licking him twice. Why do they Pick on the Sick???

cats do that (brutal as it may sound).
the best thing you can do is keep the sick cat away from the other ones until he feels better.

it goes way back. in the wild they often kill the sick to protect the pack/herd/group. hence the catch phrase" survival of the fittest."

Because they are trying to kill off the weak to prevent them from spreading their filth to other animals.
