Why do animals feel death?

Greetings, dear readers!

Have you ever thought about how animals know that a person has died? How is that possible? For example, dogs often howl a few days before a person's death.

A very interesting question, but it should be considered somewhat more broadly.

The fact is that they not only know about the approach of death and feel it, but also can predict the onset of various kinds of misfortune.

How can they even anticipate a disaster that could happen?

It has long been observed that the first to flee the ship in distress, rats.

• For sailors it was a signal that we should wait for the storm and that many of them may die.

• There are numerous indications that during the great Patriotic war at the naval base in Murmansk, the sailors knew exactly what if directly in the port with a submarine, went rat, then she absolutely will be sunk by the Nazis, and her crew perish.

• There has never been a case that these prophecies did not come true...

Also, during the war, witnesses were stunned by how organized and massively rats left Stalingrad before the battle for the city.

But not only rats possess such abilities.

With them successfully compete Pets, in particular, cats, who have repeatedly saved people's lives, warning them about the impending hurricane or earthquake.

• In China more than forty years ago thanks to them more than 90 thousand inhabitants of one city who managed to be evacuated just before the strong earthquake which destroyed the city to the basis were rescued.

• During the war before the bombing of the cat was also very restless, hollered, hissed, tried to get out of the house.

Scientists still can not explain this phenomenon.

Someone believes that cats, having excellent hearing, from afar catch sounds and microseismic vibrations in the earth's crust, someone that they feel like changing the earth's magnetic field before earthquakes.

But so far it is unknown whether it is or not.

Personally, I have had a case when my cat saved us from the explosion of household gas. For some reason, the burner went out, and the gas began to fill the kitchen.

• Cat, usually calm, suddenly worried, began to run from me to my mother, shouted, called us and led to the kitchen.

• At first we thought he was just hungry and tried to reason with him, told him his bowl was full of food.

• But he was not going to rest until finally I went into the kitchen and there, smelled gas, opened the Windows to check out the room.

As for the fact that animals feel the approach of death, so, too, has long been observed that animals can sense not only natural disasters, but also trouble, threatening the owner.

• Using their ability to, in some countries open special schools for dogs, in which their instruct help people, sick epilepsy.

• The case when the cat felt the incident with his master in trouble, he died in a car accident in another city, managed to reach the cemetery is to that grave, where they had to bury him.

No one could give an explanation for this.

As not can explain and how cats, living in hospitals or nursing homes, accurately determine, who from patients soon dies.

There are only a number of assumptions as to why they might know.
According to one version, a dying person has a "dying" smell, caught by the smell of animals. It is the mixed smell of blood and animals from the smell begins to behave restlessly, dogs howl long and lingering, evoking terror to others, etc.

However, it is not known how they determine that a person will die if he died not as a result of natural death, but in the case of murder, accident, etc.?

According to another version it is believed that they have a highly developed intuition, which adapts to the energy field of the owner of the animal, establishes an energetic connection between them.

Thank you for your attention, see you soon!

With respect to you, @mrfantastis.
