Saw it this morning. Interesting. I'd like to see what Randi and his team would make of it. As the article suggests, there is any number of boring possibilities to explain the cat's aptitude, including unconscious cues from the human staff. Even the most interesting theory - that the cat can smell some effluvium of decay that preceeds death - is a little banal.

Is there any chance the dying are simply allergic to cats?
