Can cats tell when people are going to die?

Answer 1

I'm not so sure i know that animals can sense fear........but death?! maybe....... Yes, animals can sense the death of someone they are loyal too. I've seen it with my own eyes. When my uncle was passing on his dog wouldn't leave his side even when the nurses and doctor would come the dog would refuse to move and would grow. if he was pushed to the side. The dog didn't mind someone helping his master, but he was there up until the time my uncle died. After my uncle died the dog would disappear for a day or two and my father followed the dog one day and found the dog laying across my uncle's grave. This went on for several months so my father and the rest of our family would simply bring food and water up to the dog every evening. We knew better than to remove the dog from his master's grave site. Dogs and cats can grieve as well as many other animals. Humans are ego maniacal and those that prefer to think they are of greater intelligence than their counterparts generally are so full of themselves they miss the point entirely. When you become your own biggest star and forget there is much to learn you have ceased to be intelligent. We should learn from animals and so far from what I can see the pets are winning!

Answer 2

one theory is that as people (or animals)get close to death poisons build up in the body from systems breaking down. Even people can smell this sometimes but only at the very end of life. Because animals smell is much better than ours they can smell these gases escaping the body at earlier stages.

Answer 3

Cats are unexplainable when it comes to their intelligence. Cats can tell how old a person is. A cat knows who you are by your smell. They can also tell if you are male or female. T a cat could probably get the feeling that the family is sad, and they know when something is wrong. Cats are smart creatures and shouldn't be underestimated. There is a high probability that they know that someone is going to die, or that they are in pain.

Answer 4

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that cats have the ability to predict when people are going to die. Cats may exhibit changes in behavior based on their keen senses and intuition, but any notion of predicting death is likely due to observations of subtle cues or changes in the person's health or environment.

Answer 5

If they get run over by a truck or if there health isn't good

Answer 6

We don't know for sure, but cats do realize when another member of the family is gone.

Answer 7

I have read of some cats having that ability.
