He needs one of those stencils they used for the planes in WW2, marking all the planes they shot down.

it could make him even more successful. i think he just comes to some poor soul lying there, and that person goes "oh fuck no, not you!" and dies of heart attack. now imagine how much more effective it would be if that person saw the cat's score.

As nice as this story might be ... I think cats might just be more attuned to wanting to find freshly dead animals (including humans)

Aren't cats instead of dogs known to be the pet that will start eating you if you happen to die at home suddenly.

Animals can pick up on a lot. I have one particular cat who always seems to know when my girlfriend is stressed and will relentlessly headbutt her before she even realizes she's having a panic attack. Some service dogs can detect things like seizures before they even happen, and even that's not fully understood.

Dogs will too eventually but they can go longer without eating than cats.

Dogs will do it too. Don't take long either.

yeah, i remember paramedic talking about a case where some person died alone and no one knew until the corpse started leaking through the floor to neighbors below.

there was a cat in the apartment that whole time. it was not hungry.

That is an interesting and disgusting story .... imagine sitting in your apartment and your ceiling starts 'leaking' and you have to figure out where it's coming from.
