I've heard alot of stories and stuff about cats being psychic... I believe its true though... But then again I believe in almost everything.
I have a cat but it dosent seem psychic I guess not all cats are psychic... If any of yall have any TRUE stories about your cat being psychic or know anything psychic about cats then please share.

Its hard enough for me to believe that humans are "psychic".

So imagine me trying to be convinced cats are.
:/

but you maybe on to something.

Like a undiscovered cat senses or something.
but thats as far as im going.

I have seen my cats experience paranormal things like seing things that weren't there when i looked. They can also detect when i am about to move when i have only thought about it. I read an article long ago that explains how animals are acutely aware of body language so that one was explained. But what are my cats looking at that i cannot see?

While cats being psychic is up for debate, cats being psycho is confirmed daily.

I believe all animals are able to sense things humans can,t! But as far as it being more than that, i don,t think so!

Better yet, none of us are cats, so how do we know?

Why don't you think about killing your cat in the same room as it. See what happens.

I have also heard about dogs!
In my country people say that when many dogs are crying together it may means that will happen an earthqueak!!!!
I dont bealieve it although

yes they are... plus dogs can find their owners from thousands of miles away...good nose? ...doubt it...B

Cats are not psychic. Nor are dogs, birds, snakes, magicians, clowns or anyone on this forum.

You have to realize we think of other animals as having senses like ours. Sure they have similar senses but they have additional ones or highly refined incredibly sensitive ones as well. They can see, hear, smell, feel and just in general "sense" things much better than your average human. Can they pick up on things our senses miss? Of course they can and this is probably what makes them seem "psychic". It is just senses they have that we do not or senses much more sensitive than our own. Simple as that.




Oh that is priceless. Nice one AC lol.




No animal on this planet is "psychic"

A dog with a good nose could possibly follow the scent trail all the way back home. It is a possibility.

What a f****ng useless forum. I just wrote a whole rebuttal of mister A's response here but I had to "Sign in" which deleted my post....

Anyway,

No one on this planet has the godly powers to tell people or not whether they are in fact psychic. Nor are dogs, birds, snakes, magicians, clowns or anyone on this forum.

See, if they'd completed philosophy 1 and actually listened to the damn teacher ranting up there, they'd be able to tell "Reality is objective, I am not all powerful! Wow! Even I'm not magical, professor danny!"

Unfourtunately some people lack the brilliant ability to distinguish and not throw the baby out with the bath water. This includes extremist fundementalists and skeptics.

Now if there's an infallible being, I'd say a rock. OR a breath of there. We know that's there, right?

Just like so I Hear psychics experience...

But what can I Say??

I, just like Kevin here, are a completey infallable introversively and fallable human being.

Anyway-- I'm off to San Fransisco. Back in nine days.

MDH OUT.

Why...because kevin and his little link says so?

a dog can track for up to 1500 miles?

MR Halfhand will do....

edit:I threw my laptop against the wall the last time that happened to me MDH..if its a long post type it up on "notepad" first...

Are you looking for this?

Kevin,

I became a student of the homing phenomenon weeks ago, and did significant reading on the subject. You might have missed this quote from the link you provided above.



Suffice it to say, it's not an open and shut case. How would you account for insects hatching from their eggs, having no parents to guide them, and managing to survive? "Instinct" is an unscientific cop-out on the part of the researcher.

And, MDH,

hello I read somewhere that a cats chakras or some of their chakras spin in an opposite direction to our own thus it can absorb negative energy; this may explain why you do feel better when a cat sits on your lap .Im always amazed at how they can almost control gravity and change position to land lightly if they fall from something ,the seem to equalize inertia they have acquired jost as they land Cats are amazing -louiscypher

MDH,

First off Mister A. is my father. Feel free to call me Kevin. Most do.

Please feel free to take your time and come up with a well thought out rebuttal of my post. I encourage you to do so.




Mr Halfhand,

Perhaps I should have expanded on my point. Dogs can track due to a incredible sense of smell. Dogs seem to be able to track a path due to sounds or visual landmarks that they memorize. There are other senses listed on that link that probably all work together to get the odd lost animal home. We know they can find their way home over a short distance, relatively speaking, but it is only now and then (and maybe even rarer than what people like to report. A look alike cat shows up lol) that they find their way over a very long distance. This couldn't boil down to luck could it? Maybe only the odd animal that uses all its senses and all the conditions are right allowing it to happen?

Why are we trying to call using senses that evolved for survival, passed down from ancestors and still present in their wild cousins, or sheer luck psychic powers? Take a look at the link Please Explain posted. We all have read the story of this cat or others like it. Why does this have to be a magical power? Could it just be that they are sensing a change in the dying persons body? Perhaps the persons metabolism changes and their smell changes accordingly? This does not have to be a "psychic" power. It could be just the result of keen senses.






Frank Blunt,

No, I read that part of the link as well of course. My point is just what I stated above in this post. Why try and attribute psychic powers to something that is probably(emphasis there) just keen senses or luck? I do agree that some real tests should be done and the information presented. I wish someone would test this and present the results for us all to see but I still do not expect psychic powers to be proven here. What makes more sense? Hither to unknown psychic powers or a combination of normal senses and luck? Though we have to look at the serious studies done in researching human psychic abilities? No earth shattering results there.

Ok let us look at instinct. Perhaps we should be studying how this unscientific cop out passes from parent to child? Again the seemingly unknown does not serve as evidence of psychic powers.

Again some serious studies and published results would be great but I highly doubt we would see psychic powers proven.


Kevin A.

I'm probably going to re-iterate what other - wiser - posters have already expounded... but what the heck.

I can't comment on dogs, but in my experience of Cat's.. the do NOT have a "psychic sixth sense", they merely listen to the standard five senses more carefully than most humans do.

They also get it wrong. I've seen my cats stare at tbings in the garden, and I've assumed they can see things that I can't.
Over time, however, I've come to the conclusion that they are daydreaming.

I will agree with the posters that say that Cats (and other animals) have a heightened sense of body langauge. My cats will KNOW when I'm about to push them off my lap. But I don't think this is telepathy. I suspect that - once I have arrived at the decision to push them off my lap (but before I actually DO it), I subconsciulsy tense up certain muscles in my thighs, and the Cat picks up on this.

I know ONE thing... once I decide to push a 1Kg cat off my lap, he suddenly weighs 3Kg, and is made of Velcro.

I don't believe in things such as telepathy, telempathy, or precognisance.

However, if such thiings ARE true, and exist, then it wouldn't suprise me if Cats have them in abundance.

Sneaky little moggies. You just CAN'T trust them.

Kevin,

I have my own hypotheses on this, and one relates to energy residue. The insect would be recognizing the parents' signature and following it to the most likely sources of food and shelter. Cats such as "Ninja", who traveled 850 miles from Utah to Washington State, could be relying upon a similar concept. Even if the cat were transported via car or truck, its energy trail would remain according to my hypothesis.

In a study summarized on the PBS website (Linked in my "Homing" thread), it was found that homing pigeons, when taken to an unfamiliar site of release, followed the roads and highways in their first voyage. Subsequent trips were said to be based on "their own unique methods". If these were the same routes used in transit, that would seem consistent with the energy residue tracking.

My other hypothesis ties synchronicity to homing. It's all in the Natural World forum, so I'm not going to beat a dead horse as I've been known to do so many times in the past.

For those who decide to read my thread, please know that I was joking about the benefit aspect of potential lottery winners being struck by lightning. I was not, however, joking about my sister-in-law's need to visit the animal shelter for euthanasia.

you don't REALLY have to call me Mr Halfhand ...and your points ARE valid of course Sir, but I have trouble with the distance dogs have been able to traverse to find their owners... one in particular case involved a dog lost in the post Katrina chaos in NO and somehow finding his owner way up north somewhere (well over a thousand miles)...my own dog always knew when I was about a half hour from home....I came home at all different times during my service tech days...this was confirmed many times between myself and former room mate....I wouldn't call ahead of time or anything...but she said the dog would ALWAYS act up exactly a half hour before I got home...just in time to get her other guy out of the house probably! .....

cheers
barek

Great story, Barek. I spoke of something strikingly similar in a thread over a year ago. My family's cat, who followed me around like a puppy, would run to the door and wait for me, always within 10 minutes of my arrival home from the store where I worked. The bike ride from the store was 10 minutes, so she knew when I was heading home. And my schedule was not the slightest bit consistent: irregular hours and overtime of varied length on a semi-daily basis.

I'm not talking about cats looking at things that are not there, how could you tell if a cat was psychic exactly?

Yeah, fish tell of earthquakes and beach themselves, four-legged animals sense earthquakes and run for different ground. I believe the psychic ability of an animal is only animal and is concerned with the survival of the animal. Of course, all flesh animals, including humans, have a 3rd eye, a pineal gland and that gland, I think, signals to the clan or the partner that you are who you are. If the cat is regarded as being able to 'psychically communicate' with humans, what does that say about who hunans should be able to communicate with?

Do you know that dogs know if they are going to die? Well, they cried too before they die.
and do you know you can't kill a cat easily?

Recently there has been a story in the news about a cat that lived in a hospital, and it has predicted the deaths of many patients in the hospital. When the people were about to die the cat would go and sit next to them, and this was very strange behaviour for this cat because it was a very unsocial cat, but a few hours later the people would die. So the people who worked at the hospital would know to call the families of the people so that they could spend their last hours with them. They say it may be because cats have some sort of sense that humans don't have, but they are doing some research into it.
Its been all over the news recently in Australia, internet, newspapers and the news.
This is a link that basically proves to you I'm not completely making it up:

"You have to realize we think of other animals as having senses like ours...."

You're quite right about that ... we DO only think that way.
Personally, if my cat has more senses then ME? Which I KNOW they do....
Then I wanna be like my catz
If their instincts tell them better then mine tell me...then praise be!
Let them lead ME to the light...!

Thanks for all your opinions... I believe in human psychics and i know cats have better senses then us but i looked up something about cats being psychic and it took me some story about a hospital having a tiger and whenever the tiger goes into someones room and it stays there and 4 hours later the patients die...i guess it can sense they can die or somthing...i dont know which one to believe...the worlds full of suprises and things we have never discovered and we may never know if cats r psychic or not but of course it can be there senses...but for there senses to work that good...its crazy

My cat tells me that a major earthquake will happen in california this weekend.

This cat travelled 3 miles in 8 days to find its way home.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...7081002027.html

"The homing instinct of cats is a mystery to scientists as well, said Ashley Owen, spokeswoman for the Montgomery County Humane Society. One theory is that they can follow the Earth's magnetic fields to a familiar spot. Or it's possible that Duncan might have picked up scents during the drive to DeLony's house."

(typo)

Sunday Sept 2 2007 Earthquake shook california. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5h2PJhn...Q2eLgH-Rcw7jfZA

My cat tells me Fossett crashed in the area of area51.

you said "this weekend" of when u posted that... not 4-5 weeks later lol but oh well there really was an earthquake... your cats cool lol

Cats friek out and run away ive noticed,for no apperant reason,of course there is a reason we dont hear or see! I suspect physic phenomenon is a different sencing ability,one that can be very complex, a belief structure need not be coherrent or envoked for reception, but coherrent abilitys have been achived and developed in programs designed by the DOD for purposes not fully known.! Future invoked programs and scope would be not be exclusive to national defence, edgar cayce was able in a trance enter a library of sorts and aquire cures in current on hand products availlable with exact locations and exact shelfs of drugs stores ect: complex as this seems a more complex search of other things seems probroble if not certain fact! This ability seems built on the fabric of quantum mechanics in that extradimensional evidence is conclusive and the test results exhibit physics out of our dimension ! the identical{ twins] atoms seperated at creation , showed instantainous positive polarity in both when only one atom was changed artifically,this faster than light imformation is not possible, a paradox isnt possible either,but it happened repeatedly and The paradox answer is, there is no paradox, there is another dimension where physics are different and this invisable dimension must be seperated from all other different dimensions by a thin spacial fabric layer where time is erevelent or nonexistent or quite unlike our concept of time,and time may be only in our dimension as we no it, our minds at sleep in dream state can access another place where time has no foundation in thought, this random access is perhaps paramount to sanity and stability and futher affirms time is a componet only of thought, being only of concequence to physical lifeforms and dimensions where life excist, therefore the multiverse as such does not entertwine physically with a unlike universe! so then access is impossible physically only mentally and only entering a nontime state of mind such as a trance or dream state is where access is a normal ability, or at times i call a day dream this can happen,but awake and sudden profound visions have occured indicating some channel opens to veiw , cats could be the most nontime concious creature with intelegence, so i think cats freik out for good reason, maybe when its over (its not over) it begins! LEARNING!

You guys wanna do this experiment?
Place a Brown Shrike bird in a cage then release your cat.
Hide yourself and observe.
If you're lucky to see, your cat is going to kill the poor bird by just looking.

I forgot to say, use a black cat.
Don't know why but you'll find results better.

Yea I live in minnesota and in one of the hospitals around here, there's a cat that will go spend an hour with a patient before they pass away and that's how they know that patients going to die so they send in the family members in stuff. They said that out of the 28 cases 27 cases were right so there was only one time the cat was wrong.

cats are not psychic. Cats as well as goats, snakes and other animals which has longitudinal pupils can see spirits and are possessed by them. Dogs can only feel them, they bark at them and believe me get scared of their presence.

And you know this how???? Come on.

it happens that my husband is a spiritual man

While I dont beleive cats are psycic, I DO beleive that they can sense emotion, cause when Im sad, my cat comes and sits in my lap ad makes me pet him. I love my cat!

Huh.

How would they be able to tell you whats going on?

i know, animals can sense things humans can't. before a person dies,a dog will howl all night long, and sometimes cats appear around the neighborhood. before a person dies, birds are chirping a lot more than usual, i know because i went to flute class, i recorded my whole lesson and my instructor was talking, weeks later he died of a stroke, when we listened to the tapes, we can hear birds chirping, and in all my older lessons, we didnt hear any birds at all, yes all the lessons were outside. yes my dogs do bark at the dark, and when i turn on the lights, nothing's there. many more..

they don't tell you like speak to you, but they give clues like through purs or trying to block you from going somewhere

freaky but true, yep just read up there what i posted........animals can sense when people are gonna die, sometimes through more than usual bird chirpings, all night long howling, all night long barking, presence of a an unusual cat, etc.....
