The cat would goto that person's room, leap into their beds and lie with them for awhile if that person was alone and was about to pass on.
Here's the article from the New England Journal of Medicine

You have to read that. |
I hope for a quick death also. I've prided myself on being very independant and not needing the company of others to enjoy things in life. It's that independance that may be my downfall. Things that happened in childhood and teens helped to create the independance i both enjoy and sometimes hate.
As for the article, i've read that story before and it gives me the creeps.
