Now I must backtrack and address my post in this thread.
My apologies if either poster who have had this happen was offended.
I certainly don't know why this would happen, sometimes strange things just happen.
I simply, was entertained by the mental image of a group of cats rolling someone for their money.
And what could have been going through their little cat brains.
And, well, it just tickled me.
I surely didn't mean to demean anyone's experience, please forgive.
I can only speak for myself, and I was not at all upset by your post. In fact, I think I greenied it, or at least tried. :)Quote:

I once had a wild deer walk up to me, let me touch it, pet it, for no reason at all. When another person approached, it bolted. I wish the deer could have told me why I was allowed to approach it.
I've also had a very close and personal encounter with a wild coyote. My husband, who was there, safely in the car, still can't believe it to this day, even though he saw the whole thing. We were at Elk island park, it's a sort of animal reserve. Seeing a coyote there is rare. Well, we were on our way out of the park, and in the middle of the road there was a coyote. We stopped, of course, but the coyote wouldn't leave. This animal could kill me, rip me apart. I knew this. But I looked at this animal and for some reason I felt the need to get out of the car and approach it. I felt so calm, safe.
So I got out, walked right up to the coyote, and reached out. I touched him on the head, we looked at each other. For around 5 minutes we just sat there looking at each other. It was so peaceful. It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Then I shooed him off and we went on our way.
My husband thought I was nuts, and I have to say, I don't normally go out of my way to approach wild animals, especially ones that could kill me, but I just felt safe. I had this sense that he wouldn't hurt me.
Animals are amazing. I think most of us agree with that. I truly believe that they know a lot more than we give them credit for. That they see more than we could ever hope to see, because we've been told our whole lives that we shouldn't. They haven't.
We were hunting one day, my son ( who is 34 now) was about 8 or 9 and was hiding being a tree watching a clearing, I was further down watching a pass. Of course early morning, he falls asleep, I watch a fox come up to him, get the bill of his baseball cap and run off with it.
I still have visions of this fox wearing that cap.
But cats have a long myth or legend of predicting death, They may sit by the bed side of a elderly person who is gong to die soon and not want to leave.
There's a show on TV called Animal miracles. It's about animals that have done miraculous or strange things.Quote:

It was as if the cat knew who would die, and when, and slept with that person for their final night.
After this happened a few times the staff came to realize that the cat could predict who was going to die. The cat has a clean record. Every single person (at this point dozens) that he's slept with through the night, has not survived to see the morning.
Animals know things. I'm sure of it.
I want to thank everyone for your comments I'm glad I don't seem to be the only one that has had some
Experance like this. I do believe it to
Be around death, long story so won't get into it, I love cats and love them even more now! :0) so thank you.

She is not a dog that howls. I believe she somehow knew.
I hope he heard her.
I'm sure he did Judy. I'm very sure he did.Quote:
