Do you think your pet has a sixth sense?

You may have seen the sweet story about a toddler's pet dog that sniffs out cancer in the news this week about a dog who sniffed out cancer.

A mother and father have credited their daughter’s early diagnosis of leukaemia to their pet border collie’s protective behaviour, which prompted them to take her to the doctor.

Dogs’ super sensitive sniffers are well known to us, but could their noses also help detect cancer? A trial looking into this was launched in the UK last year and you can read more on CRUK article called Can a dog detect the smell of cancer?

Do your pets seem to have a sixth sense? Every now and then we hear about animals’ extraordinary abilities and I know my cat always seems to know if I’m upset about something. Have you ever been amazed at something your pet has sensed? We’d love to hear your stories.

  • My cat knows me very well and he knows when I'm tired or energetic and what I love is he makes his mood like mine. When I had cancer it was the first time he really ever slept in my bed (With his head on the pillow next to mine) and when I would get down very rarely but when I did he would sit on my lap and it was as if he mourned which really surprised me but touched my heart immensely. Animals are very smart and lovable when they want to be ! 

  • Hi

    My cat always follows me around and now I am having  chemo. The first night after my cycles she cries all night even when I cuddle her . I'm sure she can smell chemo as I can.
