A man from Kentucky, USA believes his pet cat is better than any doctor at spotting cancer.

Lionel Adams said his cat 'Tiger' would climb up onto the bed at night and drag his paw down Lionel's left side. Tiger was adamant something was there.

Mr. Adams had shown no symptoms of lung cancer before Tiger's 'examination', but after he mentioned his pet's strange behaviour to his doctor he was x-rayed and the mass in his left lung was found.

If not for Tiger, says Mr. Adams, the tumour would have grown undetected.

I saw once a documentary where they were training dogs to do that. I think it has to do with their smell sense.

That reminds me of an old joke I once heard......

A lady took her dead duck to the vets. She asked the vet what was wrong with her duck as he was very limp all over.
The vet said, "madam, I believe your duck is dead"
"No, no it can't be - I want a second opinion." cried the lady.

So the vet goes out and brings back a black Labrador, he leads the dog to the table where the duck is lying.
The dog sniffed at the duck and lifted his head and howled, the dog looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head, then walked back out of the room.

The vet and said "Madam your duck is dead"

"I still don't believe you - I want a third opinion."
So off he goes and comes back with a cat. He leads the cat to the duck on the table. cat
The cat sniffs around the duck, and pats it and sniffs at it, the cat gave a loud "Prrrrwl" shakes her head, jumps of the table, and leaves the room.

The vet, shakes his head and says "Madam, your duck is definitely dead."
That will be £500 please.

The lady gasps "£500 pounds to tell me my duck is dead?"
"Well" replied the vet "my consultation was £50, the lab report was £150 and the cat scan was £300!"

I was told a joke today:

A blind man and his guide dog were walking down the street when all of a sudden the dog led the blind man into a lampost.

The blind man reached into his pocket and pulled out a small treat to give to the dog.

"Oh how nice" Said a passer-by "Even though he led you into a lampost you're still giving him a treat".

"Not at all" replied the blind man "I need to find out which end is which so I can kick him in the b*llocks!"
