Cats are able to sense not only seismic activity, but also the death of their owner.

This was reported by the Zen channel "Main News. Sib.fm", citing zoologists.

How does a cat behave before the death of its owner

There are two main versions of why cats sense the death of their owners.

According to the first, it is a matter of cat intuition. According to the second, cats are able to sense a specific smell that begins to emanate from a person's body several hours before death.

A cat, sensing the death of its owner, behaves extremely restlessly: runs around the house without stopping, meows loudly, and tries to get into hard-to-reach places.

You should not touch the cat at this moment under any circumstances; you need to let the animal calm down.

If your pet doesn't want to leave its shelter, try to lure it out of there using a cotton pad soaked in valerian.

For reference

A cat is a domestic animal, one of the most popular (along with a dog) “companion animals”.
