Can cats detect cancer in humans?

I once read that there are cats that have been able to tell if humans have cancer. Has anyone else heard this? If this is true, what is the cats reaction to the human with the cancer? How would that cat know if the human had cancer?

    My cats didn't seem to know I had cancer but I will say one of them knows when I'm not well sometimes but that is probably because of my different behavior. A long time ago I read a story about a cat or dog that would go to his master and keep nudging or paying attention to a particular spot and it turned out to be some illness the master had.

    I have heard the identical thing that some cats were in a position to realize whatever is flawed with their servants but am no longer definite how they recognize this. Cats are very shrewd. Should you seen I stated servents on the grounds that Cats should not have house owners. We feed them, we smooth their litter containers, we let them in our houses. Good they feel we allow them to but quite they let us do all of this.

    My Pug dog found my breast cancer. I was on the back patio in lawn chair and my pug kept nuzzling my breast area. I gently brushed her away again, and laid my hand over my breast area to keep her away and felt the lump she was nuzzling.

    Now have double mastectomy.

    I work at a hospital and kept saying I was going to schedule me a mammogram soon. Too late.

    I even have heard a similar component that some cats have been waiting to bump into something is incorrect with their servants yet am uncertain how they understand this. Cats are exceedingly intelligent. in case you spotted I reported servents by using fact that Cats have not got proprietors. We feed them, we sparkling their clutter packing containers, we enable them to in our residences. properly they think of we enable them to yet fairly they enable us to do all of this.
