For Spike losing his soul, I think it depends on how he loses it. However, I expect Evil Unsouled Spike to be sarcastic about how pathetic his souled self was, rather than trying to go and get the soul back.
In 'Awakening/Soulless' Angelus seemed to be aware immediately of what had happened. It's possible someone who can magically detect souls, like Anya and possibly willow, might know at the same time as him.
The leader of the epic quest would really depend on whose soul was lost. If it was Miss Kitty's I suspect Andrew would be the leader because he and Dawn would be the only people who took it seriously. Anyone else, and usually Buffy would be the leader simply because that's what she does.
Frankly, after all the trouble he went through to get it (hey, Africa and no airplanes!) I'd think Spike would be pretty damn hacked off that someone took it.
Dude, I know all about kitty evil peeing on random objects (that aren't random and tend to be important things like my bed). Evil Soulless Kitty connects directly to bladder.
I'm not certain Angel would realize immediately after losing his soul. At the end of "Becoming" he seemed to be in a daze after being re-ensouled, and was not aware of what had happened until he presumably reviewed his memories later. This gives the impression that Angel is actually sent off to limbo while Angelus is active. Of course, the inconsistent portrayal in "Orpheus" mucks this up a bit. *ponders*
"Ah, you're going with the Angel and Angelus are two different people thing."
That, or they're at least two separate sides of a split personality (Jekyll/Hyde style), if the mental struggle in "Orpheus" in any indication. There's also the fact that when knowledge of the Beast was erased, Angelus was unaffected due to being absent from reality when the spell was cast.
This contrasts distinctly with Spike, whose post-ensoulment persona is the same as before except with a(sometimes humorously denied) conscience.
I could see Spike losing his soul and then not trying to get it back. It would require a lot of story, though. He's still self-conscious as hell, and there's nothing wrong with his memory.
Personally, I've never come across a cat with a soul.

For Spike I wanted to say poetry and get it back, but I went with the latter.
For Angel, I'm sure he would notice first.
For Buffy, I went with temper.
For Miss Kitty, I desperately wanted a ticky box, but I went with maniacal meowing.
Mr. Gordo shall lead the Epic Quest while Andrew provides epic narration.
