Yes, for quite some time now, the awesome nature of dogs has
been broadcast to the world. Without
them we’d still be near naked hunter gatherers.
Now, the cat people are trying to push their way into the limelight.
We still don’t
understand our companions’ full capabilities. Take for instance Oscar the cat,
whose uncanny ability to predict the coming death of elderly residents in a
care home was even reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. It seems,
through their prehistoric association with humans, dogs have hogged the
research limelight, perhaps because they are considered more able to be trained
to work within the human world. But, given their easier management and growing
popularity, cats could yet become top dog in this research field.
If your only skill is predicting death, I don’t want you
around my house.
