You have no idea how much I wish this sense were reciprocal and that humans could tell when animals were going to die *sniff sniff*.......I believe that animals know when their own time is up too (hence why cats in particular go missing beforehand).

If it were me, I'd be absolutely fine with having a cat snuggle up to me at the last and very comforted to know that my loved one had a furry companion like that. I certainly wouldn't send him out of the room - that would just seem ungrateful.
