I'd have to see the actual data here. I've heard, again, much of this
is there's a comfy area to rest and relax for the cat. I think it's a
type of full moon effect that's going on here too. That's where people
recall instances where the cat rested near a dying person but forget
all the times they didn't.

It would be kind of an easy thing to test, no? Just create similar
environments (warm comfy spot sans the dying patient) in nursing homes
and also just about anywhere and see if the cats select them over
dying patients. Maybe someone's already done this.
