From Tricia Neville
All my cats know how to analyse breath to detect illness
(17 March, p 12).
They don’t have to learn it: they were born with the knowledge. I trust my cats’
diagnoses over my doctor’s any time. Treatment for flu involves staying with the
patient for longer than usual periods, preferably keeping the human warm in bed.
Wrapping the top of the patient’s head with a warm furry body is most beneficial
with frequent sniffing of both breath and skin odour to check on recovery.
