No, they're more likely to die from broken necks having tripped over the wretched beast who likes to lie on the second stair down and doesn't like it when you step on him!

My dear departed Shadow cat once contributed to putting me in hospital by tripping me up so that I hit my head on the corner of the wall. The resulting headache meant I wasn't paying full attention later when reversing the car and got whiplash when I hit a post.

The heart troubles I've had I put down to poor genetics.
