She's been saying this for about a week. She has no obvious health problems but she says that all the women in her family have died young from cancer. Also (don't know it's relevant), all three of our cats have been paying much more attention to her (she thinks it's a sign). Should I take it seriously? She's 36 years old.

If you consider her to be your friend then just be supportive. If this don't pan out to be true (i really hope that is the case) then she will know that deep inside of her she has a friend who she can depend on every time. I hope that helped. Merry Christmas!!!

She may have a mental illness. Only a mentally ill woman would think that cats paying attention to her means that something awful and highly significant is going to happen to her.
If these cats were lions or tigers, then of course she should be concerned about them paying attention to her. But with domestic cats, it doesn't make sense.

Ever hear of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If she keeps thinking/meditating about this "premonition" then she may be in some sort of danger that she may unintentionally inflict on herself. I personally don't believe that she has the ability to see into the future and I hope you don't either. You need to let her know that she has control over what happens to her and her outlook on life. Anything that is out of her hands she shouldn't worry about.

i think u should be concerened if shez not fooling around and if the women in her family have died young of cancer. plus i read in a biography that this women knew she was going to die and her dog was wimpering the same day she knew she was gonna die, so maybe its like her with her 3 cats. best of luck :) or maybe itz just a phase or something.

Well, there are many possibility's. She could just be paranoid, she could be right or she could just want more of your attention.
I would look up possible symptoms of cancer and get her checked for cancer. If nothing is wrong with her I don't think you should worry about it anymore.
Hope that helps.

she sounds like she is needy for attention and is only getting it from the cats. i wouldnt be so worried about it, but i would definately keep an eye out for anything odd like self infliction or anything that might be a definate threat to her life.

Yes, you should take it seriously. Without letting her know you're doing so, you should watch her, to make sure she doesn't do anything to herself. I know of people who killed themselves because they were afraid they had cancer.

If she's a healthy woman I would give her a hug and let her know she'll be fine.
Other than there's nothing whatsoever you can do.
