There seems to be a lot of animal lovers on the board.
Did any of you read/hear about the Death Cat that lives in a nursing home? It knows when someone is going to die and sits with them in the room during their final hours. It has been so accurate that when the cat enters someone's room the staff notifies family members that the ends is near.

I have always believed that cats are really intuitive when it comes to this type of thing.
