Cat TalesAs you know from previous entries here I am a big fan of the show House but tonight's episode is starting to annoy me, though it is not over yet so it may explain itself but right now I wish I could just yell at the TV. I know TV is fiction and that Hollywood be it movies or television shows are infamous for not always getting all the facts right. But still there are just some things that are so obviously dumb to me that I cannot get over it.
So the basic story behind this episode is there is this woman who of course has something mysterious wrong with her and no one knows what it is, but the sort of side story is that she worked in this nursing home and there was this cat there and the cat is said to be able to predict when someone is going to die. Whenever the cat would lay down next to a patient that person would die shortly after and so the cat laid down and feel asleep next to her so she thought that was a sign that she was going to die. Of course House just thinks the whole think is a bunch of superstitious mumbo jumbo and that the cat cannot really predict when a person will die. But the thing that annoys me, is the fact that there are actually legitimate scientific reasons how a cat might be able to "know" or sense when someone is going to die. Animals in general are just more attuned and sensitive than humans are. All of their senses are sharper and it is known that dogs have the ability to sniff out skin cancer and such. So it is possible the cat could pick up on other cues that people simply are not aware of to know that a person is going to die soon.
