From Yahoo News (//%22http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070725/ap_on_fe_st/death_cat%22)

How do we know he's not one of these "Angel of Death" nurses? [;)]

Can't wait for the Stephen King book, "Oscar". A book waiting to be written.

That story did not surprise me at all when I saw it on TV.  Animals are superior to humans in many ways, especially in the senses of sight, sound, and smell.  I don't think it is anything special like ESP or a "sixth sense."  Cats just can probably detect minute sounds or smells of the onset of death that we humans can not detect.

They have said for years that animals can detect impending natural disasters like earthquakes long before humans can (were talking minutes or hours, not days) due to their superior instinct and senses.
