Oscar, the Grim Reap Purr...
 

I found this article in our Science News my husband brought me.
here is the link to the nursing home cat that forcasts "death" ....
I found it rather interesting and his picture is included.

G'day mrsd. :)

Isn't that amazing!

It sort of freaked me out a little. Imagine lying there and the cat comes to sit on your bed???

Sadly I don't think the people would actually notice. They showed this on our tv a few weeks ago and the people in the home were very very ill indeed.

I do know that when I'm not at all well, that my cat comes and sits on my chest up near my face. I swear she knows how I'm feeling.

Thanks for the article!!!

That's more
 

then interesting,it's sweet,kind loving,gentle and nice...Sue

well,
 

I was getting a bit worried myself. Our middle cat started hogging the bed this past week or so..she actually started when my husband left for his second work break. I have a funny picture on how Big Stuff (the senior) took my bed spot
when I got up to make a privy stop. Between them both, there was not much
room for ME! I have a funny picture, but it is in the laptop, and that is still
in progress and not here yet. I won't get to put it up til tomorrow!

But I kept wondering if my "time" had come!

We had a family friend who died young of cervical cancer (40's)--this was before PAP tests were routine. She had a fluffy cat who was pretty old at the time. When Mary died at home, the cat howled and could not be consoled. She would not leave Mary. I always remember that, as I was just in my late teens then. It made a huge impression on me then and still does.

my dog detected my stroke
 

although i've known of their sensitivities, this one suprised the crap out of me.
