Wow, very bizarre.

Now I just need a cat that sniffs out 100 dollar bills.

That actully doesn't surprise me, some animals are very sensitive to stress in humans. Maybe the cat just has skills.

Yo, that's in my state. LOL

My dog acts the same way. Granted, no one has died around him, but he does know when someone is upset and always comes to comfort them. I'd imagine its the same instinct with the cat.
Although most people dying there are already too sick to realize his presence, imagine being sane and having him come "visit you." I'd be pretty scared. lol

That is too cool!

I guess I really don't get what the big deal is on this one. I mean, yea its cool... but we've known animals tune in to things we can't. Its not new news

That's why many people with serious medical issues have specially trained dogs with them. They can sense things being "out of whack" with their owner before the owner knows. They've just been trained on what to do when they sense it. For example, seizure dogs can tell their owner is going to have a seizure sometimes 30-45 minutes before it happens. True, this is a cat not a dog... but, is there really that much difference? I don't think so. Well, other than a cat being typically its own master.

“He doesn’t make too many mistakes."
LOL
Well thats peachy. What about when he does?

I agree with Christine. This isnt like "oh wow geez! so new!" But still, its super rad how dogs and cats are very sensitive to those things and protective.

That happened when I was walking Chewie. We were over on the right side of the road and he just kept whining and welping, trying to tug me over to the other side of the road but I wouldnt. But he kept on doing it so I finally moved over to the other side and just when I did this car like came out of nowhere from behind us and zipped past on the right side of the road. I didnt even hear it or anything.

And then when I was a baby and we lived in El Paso I got out of the backyard and crawled up the sidewalk a few blocks, and when my mom found me, my black lab puppy, Tobie, had been walking beside me and pushing me back onto the sidewalk whenever I tried to go out into the street.

Back on subject. Even Dog trainers in competitions know about this because they chew gum because their dogs can smell nervousness on one's breath!
