Do you think animals can tell when the end is near? (i use animals to describe humans too, because that is what we are at the end of the day) I've read that you can see it in the eyes of a person who's near death, that they realise what is coming, and they look fearful, which I can understand, but I'm thinking about cats. This isn't particularly random, seeing as one of my cats died of cancer last year, and one is dying of it this year. Thing is, I'm noticing patterns between the two. My cat that died hid a lot for example, every day we would have to look for her, and more often than not she would be in the neighbors garden, and now my cat that is dying is spending a lot of her time hidden away at the very end of our garden. Neither did anything comparable before they contracted cancer. This has made me wonder because in the past I've heard that dogs that are about to die go off and hide to do it, as do elephants, although not so much the hiding bit, lets face it, in a game of hide and seek the elephant will loose every single time.
And I've mentioned cancer, thats a fearful word, odds are it'll affect over 1 in 3 of us at some point, directly that is. But the thing is, cancer is only an extension of normal processes, that is the division and replication of cells, but it's accelerated, which is why you get a tumor. To me, that's what makes cancer scary, the fact that it is such a simple cause, just one little mutation in the genes.
