You could never say. Every cat is different. But, I think it happens. Sometime they'll still be playful and cute but, they'll have way less patience if they don't catch the feather. Sometimes they don't get grumpy. But, if it's a hectic house, like mine was when I was a kid, they just get fed up with the movement and noise. They know where the food is so, they lose a lot of hunt and tend to do a lot more sunning and/or hiding where it's quiet.
But, they're still kinda cute when their grumpy. Especially if their yours. You get used to their character. They usually have to be pretty old so, some don't make it, I'm sure. And there's no warning. It just happens one day.
