Creepy, eh? Does he predict, or does he kill?

I don't think it's either. But it does make sense.

Animals are able to detect sounds, smells, emotions, ect in both different and heightened ways then any human could possibly experience. I think I've heard of animals being able to detect when someone is going to die, so this doesn't surprise me at all.

I myself wouldn't know whether to be comforted or afraid of this neko. XD But I think I would feel a bit better knowing "when".

As a cat lover, I would be comforted by a cat by my side as I was dying, even if it meant my time was soon at hand.

I'd say he predicts rather than kills.

I'm not surprised. Animals are often able to sense what people cannot simply because their senses are sharper, such as dogs that are trained to warn diabetics of dangerous changes in blood chemistry.

I'm just curious to know why he does it.

Because it's a heck of a lot better than the guy with the long black hoodie.

Or maybe it's God's way of telling people at the end of their lives to not fear death, but to embrace it (cuddle if you will).

Or it could be the people that were around the cat were allergic to cats.

I doubt some 25 people in a row have been killed by an allergy to the cat.

Being raised in the nursing home, perhaps the cat can detect the change in patients who are dying. Something has taught it to be there for the last few hours of a person's life. I wonder more about that behavior than whether an animal with a different set of senses than us can tell the difference in a human body when only hours away from death.

He sits on their faces at night, effectively suffocating them!

Animals always seem to sense things that people can't. I wonder if it's because we've gone soft.

Human bodies give off certain smells when they begin to die. Of course, to a weak human nose, these scents are indetectable until long after the person is dead and the scent is strong. A cat, however, can detect such subtle things much sooner. He's probably attracted to the scent, and goes to it.

Yeah there's definitely some sort of scent/chemistry with it, because as said above, animals can detect illnesses that people have. Diabetes, the coming of a seizure sometimes, it's interesting. Along with that, I think they can sense alot of emotion too. When people are sad they somehow... feel that they should be there to comfort. My cat hates it when I'm arguing with my mom, and through all the yelling she comes up and cuddles me, as if trying to get me to stop and calm down. I love our furry little friends^^ Sometimes I forget their animals and think of them as little people^^

I was joking about that part.


Its been noted that dogs and cats can detect alot of things that we humans can't.
