It is believed that cats can sense the illness and death of their owners.
Scientists cannot yet give a definitive explanation for this ability of cats, but they do not refute it either.
How do cats behave before their owners die?
Scientists are inclined to believe that cats' ability to sense death may be linked to their keen sense of smell.
It allows cats to recognize substances secreted by the body of a seriously ill person.
Sensing this smell, the cat experiences panic fear and may become violent.
For example, a cat may meow loudly, hiss, growl, run around the house, etc.
