Thread Name: BS: Cat Forsees Death?
Subject: RE: BS: Cat Forsees Death?
Somewhere I read about a doctor who is trying to train a dog to diagnose skin cancer by smell. It sounds plausible. If dogs can find heroin or cocaine, maybe they can find skin cancer the same way.

Maybe dying people give off a scent that cats can detect but people can't.

Why a cat would be attracted to that smell is another question. Maybe the cat just wants to sleep where he won't be kicked out of bed.
