Pets

I hadn't seen the cat for awhile and asked my neighbor how the cat was and was told the bad news (this was a high rise apartment building with connecting balconies and the cat named "Princess" liked to walk along the rail to go from apartment to apartment outside) - she fell 18 stories.

And I don't think the "memories" of certain events/people are restricted to that breed or even genus. I know my sister's black lab just loves attention when he is out for a walk but there were at least one or two neighbors (one of them who was a jogger who regularly ran along the route where the dog was walked), where the lab would just go ballistic with the growling and barking. My BIL would say that he had to literally use all of his strength to hold him back. Everyone else, no problem.

So animals definitely sense and will react when exposed to something or someone they feel is "danger" (and I'm thinking it's pheromones or other scents that they can detect that we can't, and that triggers a fight or flight response).
