There are two things you should know about me before reading further. Firstly, I have been a professional magician for the last 45 years, so I am an "optimistic skeptic" when it comes to separating fact from fiction. As a guy who gets paid to fool people (hopefully in a positive way) I know how easy it is to be deceived. But I am always open to any theories that arise on any subject, at least until I have some evidence in hand to prove them untrue.

And secondly, I am an incurable cat lover with two of my own, so if I can be biased about anything it would be cats.
For a long time now, the internet and supermarket tabloids have been rife with stories of animals – dogs and cats mostly, who are able to detect cancer in their owners with their keen sense of smell, and indicate its presence through their actions.
