I had a horrible fright this morning!
I woke up and thought I was having a heart attack.
All I could hear was a heart beat...going very fast...much faster than my usual slow plodding rate...
This is it...I thought...about to go into cardiac arrest...there's no one here to help me....my life rushed in front of my eyes.
But wait...what a relief....
I realised the cat was sitting on top of my head and it was her heart I could hear!
Whew...I get to live another day!

I think the best comment is No Comment, Sarah, but I agree it's very scary to think you might be alone when you have a heart attack. I was alone one night years ago when I had what seemed to be symptoms of an attack, but obviously wasn't. (Must have been some muscle spasm, I think, since that's occurred since a couple of times.) That thought of dying alone with no one around is very unpleasant.
Yes, you're right...and I think we start to think about these things more and more as we get older...and closer to death (from an age point of view).
Mind you, on a less serious note, I was in more danger of being suffocated by the cat, than dying of a heart attack :)
I'm so glad you're ok! And since you are--I have to say this made me laugh a lot! Cats--they really are out to mess with us :)
Fascinating creatures. Blackie is getting old now...we'll miss her greatly when she's gone.
