Bill,
I saw the cat story on a couple of different sites today.
I really think animals do sense things. When my Mom was ill, my parents dog treated her much differently. He was gentler with her. I think he knew she wasn't well and wanted to protect her.
It was rather sweet.
Animals do train us though. One of the people in our office has a small dog that she brings to work with her. He's older and quiet, but he makes his rounds of the office every day. He's trained me to take him out and to give him treats. He knows I'm a total sucker for sad doggy eyes.
