animals...............

[stokemaveric]

can say your dog,cat or whatever pet you have sense the impending death of someone?

[Abdulmajid]

I saw a documentary about dogs being trained to sniff out cancer in humans.

Is that relevant?

[johnny.5]

my pit bull knows almost uncannily when some one is about to die

[aka pixi]

Ive read about that abdul.

I dont know whether they can sense death though, maybe they can, animals dont have their brains full of the crap that we do so their brains are a lot less cluttered, could be that this enables them to tune into things that we cant cos our brain doesnt have the space or time to pick up on it.

It's just a pity they can't sniff out cancerous humans. They'd be an asset to this place.

modern day folks don't believe in such things but yes they do. i've witnessed it happen many times. owls also give a sign.

I saw that on Richard and Judy tonight.

My cat puss some years ago would never go to anyone but me, he never sat on anyone elses lap, any way the night my father died my mother came back to my house to stay for a while. She sat on the sofa and puss came straight over to her and very gently jumped onto her lap, he stood for a moment and looked at her then curled up and went to sleep, he then went and slept beside her for the whole night.

really lajohn thats interesting.......years ago when i was a child our pet dog would not stop howling all day,she was normally well behaved,and when the blokes family next door went to visit him he was unfortunatley found dead in the kitchen.....always stuck with me that memory has...weird.

In the time I have had my animals, (last 4 years) I have only known of 1 perso who has passed away, and he was 150 miles away.
Sooo I find myself lucky to have never been in the position to find out.

[stokemaveric]

thanx puss i saw that advertised on richarf n judy but had to go out thats why i thought id ask the question here......

[lajohn]

dogs cry and dig holes days before.

[LaughingGirl]

This for Abdulmajid, 20 years ago I had breast cancer, we had a lurcher dog at the time, she kept on sniffing at my breast. so I think there is something in animals with the sniffing, does make you wonder. I have never forgotten that.
I am fit and well now.

Hi Stoke mucker,
during world war two in 1942 the night before Exeter was blitzed there wasn't a cat to be found in the town. 5,000 people died in the bombing and the cats returned the next day.
