No, because there's no such thing.

True Story: I usually read in bed every night. Often, one of my cats will come in and sit between my legs. When I'm done reading, I put the book down, turn off the light, then roll onto my side. This rolling involves my cat having to readjust his position as well. Well, several times now, my cat has made this adjustment just before I was about to put my book down, turn off the light and roll on to my side. For example, just before I got to the end of a chapter, though I'd given no indication of this. Thus, my cat is psychic.

Psychotic, maybe. Psychic, no.

My cat usually sleeps right next to me on the bed. The other night I woke up several times, and around 4AM I decided to go pee. The cat jumped off the bed, and as I went to the toilet, she went to the litter box at the same time. Last night, around 9 PM, I went to the toilet to pee, and she also went to her litter box to do her business. Not really psychic, but I thought it was funny.

Im not sure, we had a blond German shepherd who was not scared of anything. A storm was moving upon us, he started whining and crying crawled under my bed and refused to come out, my dad thought Duke (dog's name) saw getting sick, so he dragged Duke out from under the bed and put him outside, Duke scratch at the door whining and howling. A few minuets later we saw an f4 tornado that just barely missed our house, I think the dog was sensitive to the weather conditions, Im not so sure it was psychic.

Not that I know of - but I'd be open to the idea.

My first psychic communication experiments as a teen were with dogs. I saw one which knew it was in trouble the moment it came in the door, and that inspired me. After that I sucessfuly and repeatedly was able to get dogs being walked on the beach strand below to stop in their tracks and look at me from the sixth floor of a condo behind glass.
It's that sense that someone is staring at you behind you back. The dogs would stop, look around them, look up, and right at my window amongst a beach lined with condos.

I later found likewise I could do this to pick out homeless people sleeping in bushes a block away amongst urban crowds. People at rest with quiet minds are on a different and comparatively rare wavelength in these times.

My cats are vibe addicts. They sleep on most anything I bring home, but are more inclined to do so in proportion to how much I care for an item.

No. Not really. I think that animals are not as smart as they seem. When you try to help them, they bite. you.

My one dog would get very excited and start jumping around revving up to go out for a walk. And it was always 10 to 15 minutes before the end of a movie. Annoying to say the least. I thought that to be interesting.

Howzabout something like this?

"Some of the most compelling evidence comes from an area known as "Psi Trailing." This term refers to cases in which animals have been successful in locating their masters with all known sensory clues having been eliminated. For example, a family moves to a new home hundreds of miles away. Unfortunately, the family cat is left behind. Although the cat has never seen the new home, and although tracking the family through odor cues would seem impossible, a few months later the cat appears at the door of the new home -- mewing and bedraggled. Somehow, the cat has trailed or tracked his masters. If identification of the animal is absolutely certain, and if the animal has received no human aid in arriving at the new location, the animal may have found its way to the new dwelling psychically." (From website about psychic pets)

or this?

"Some animals can forewarn us of events that are about to occur. Most common, perhaps are pets that seem to know when their owners are about to have epileptic seizures. Epilepsy, explained in the simplest terms, is a kind of temporary short circuit in the victim's brain, resulting in convulsions, labored breathing and sometimes blackouts. Is it a real premonition the pet is having before the onset of such a seizure, or is it supersensitive to slight muscle tremors, subtle changes in behavior or emitted odors that even the victim is not aware of minutes before the seizure takes hold?

Much harder to explain, however, are incidents in which the pet truly seems to have foreknowledge of some disastrous event - an event for which there can be so sensory cues to pick up on. One morning my dog, Toby, tried to stop me going out of the front door. He barged against me, leaned on the door, jumped up at me, and pushed me. He is normally a quiet, loving dog and knows my routine; I would have been back within four hours. I had to lock him in the kitchen and left him howling, something he has never done before or since. I set off at 7:30 a.m. and by 9:40 a.m. I was involved in a horrific traffic accident resulting in a fractures neck and right arm, and many other injuries. In the future, I'll listen to Toby." (Sic)

And now, along with guide dogs for the blind, there are dogs trained to warn their people about pending seizures - they make their owner sit down wherever he/she happens to be at the time. True! Training is being developed in the States. Pretty cool. Psychic? Don't think so, but there does seem to be a super-sensitivity in some pets - like the ones that sense cancer before it's diagnosed (licking the site repeatedly), or a phone call before it comes, or a family member coming home despite irregular hours. Things like that. Anyway, I'm sure not taking my dog for granted - just in case!!

No. I've seen them do some pretty amazing things, but I don't believe it's due to psychic abilities. For instance, if I'm sad my cat will usually come curl up on my shoulder and lick my face (which she does only when I'm upset, never when I'm happy), but I believe they read body language in a similar way that humans do.

Had the dog not been pestering his master, he would have easily missed the accident by some 15 to 30 seconds, if not more. Meaning no accident would have happened in the first place, hence why would the dog be picking up anything to begin with? If anything, the dog actually caused his master to get in the wreak.
