A Different Type of Cat Scan

Recently there have been many reports of cats detecting cancerous tumors in their owners.

Just last night on our local news, a veterinarian talked about her rescue cat, and how it had detected cancer in her body that even an MRI had not shown. She had a severe pain in her side, and her cat would continuously paw at it and press against it. Eventually the cancer was detected even after a negative reading the first time around. When her cat persisted, so did the veterinarian and the cat saved her life.

Another lady had a little mole on her chest that she didn’t give much thought to, however, when her cat kept pressing against it, she decided to have it checked out, and it was cancerous. The mole was removed and the lady is doing fine.

There are lots of reports like this, but normally we hear about dogs and their superior perception. What we have failed to realize is that we credit dogs sense of smell for being able to detect this sort of thing, however a cat’s sense of smell is 14 times greater than a dogs, so it only makes sense that they can detect smells even better.

Cats have an organ called the vemeronasal that is located behind their front teeth and connected to their nasal passages. This helps to serve as a way for them to have an extra ordinary smelling ability. Have you ever seen a cat open and close their mouth rapidly? If so, you probably witnessed them smelling something.

Indeed it seems that cats do have a sixth sense that goes beyond what humans have. They seem to be able to predict the weather far better than any meteorologist or sense natural disasters. Now we see that it has surpassed that, and cats can actually sense death and disease, making us aware that we should listen to them.

A real life cat scan could save your life.
