Could it be that the "attention" the cat was giving the owner's head, was not "detecting" the aneurysm, but was instead, the source of the aneurysm????

We've all seen them. Cats give off that "evil look" sometimes, so you never know........

My neighbor’s cat detected his hernia, a broken thermocouple in his water heater and a misspelled word in his son’s homework- and that was just yesterday!

I must be on death’s door. Two cats in the house and they choose me to pay attention to. I don’t really care about cats, but they sure care about me. The dog in on tranquilizers.

You're simply telling them that you're submissive to them, if you try to ignore them. The reason that cats often seem to be attracted to people who aren't "cat people" is because when a cat looks and you, and you look away, in "cat language," you're telling them that they're the boss, and they'll come over to rub their forehead and cheek glands on you, marking you are theirs.

I think it is a prudent rule of thumb that if your pet, cat or dog, starts being VERY curious about a certain part of your body, to have it checked out.

It is established that cats and dogs can sense that there is something wrong. Dogs are currently being used to sniff out cancer

So right. My cat scan is now being conducted, with the practitioner standing on my desk and making it hard for me to type. The two canine practitioners, OTOH, are waiting outside to be let in from their morning run. One is an 85b lb. Ptador and the other is a 100 lb., and growing, Great Dane. The Dane does his work by leaning and butting, while the Pitador regularly bumps and pokes me with his snoot.

One of my kitties, a rescue kitty, used to perch on my right shoulder, right around the area where the upper lobe of my right lung was. Turned out, I had lung cancer (lobe removed, all signs of cancer gone, thankfully)—and kitty no longer perches there. These kitties seem to know.
