BBC seeking ethical insurance shoppers with telepathic pets

Wednesday, 3 February 2010 15:30

Sometimes pets can do things that make them seem telepathic - and the BBC is seeking out these types of stories to inform a piece on animals' sixth sense.

"Britain is known as a nation of animal lovers, but just how well do we know our pets," the news source queried.

They are looking for stories such as the pooch that barks before the phone rings or always knows when its owners are due home.

Or the moggy that comes over when somebody is feeling a bit down.

Recently, a book entitled Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat by Dr David Dosa reported what it claimed was one cat's ability to predict death in the patients of a care home.

It would come and curl up next to the person that only has a few hours to live and was observed for three years to confirm this trend.

Animal Friends Insurance, one of the largest independent pet insurers in the UK offer dog insurance, cat insurance and horse insurance to UK residents.
