Psychic Or Psycho?

I am beginning to wonder whether I have precognition or not. So I've decided to share what I've noticed about myself, and you guys might be able to help.

First off, I am a very good guesser. When somebody gives me a question and a couple answers I've never heard of before, 2 out of 3 time I'll get it right, unless I over think it. Then I almost always get it wrong.

My precognitions are usually gut feeling I have. For instance, I'll pick up the phone a few seconds before it rings. Once, my dad decided it was a good idea to take me and my younger sister down a steep hill in the trailer of our small riding lawn mower. As soon as we got to the top of the hill, I started to feel uneasy and insisted that my dad let me off at the little landing before the steepest part. My sister agreed with me, so when we got there my dad stopped. He convinced my sister to stay in (please don't judge my dad, he's a really nice guy and he had done this before without any problems). I knew something bad was going to happen. Sure enough, the brakes failed and the lawnmower rolled down the hill (everyone's okay, though, so don't worry. Just scrapes and bruises were received). Also, I tend to think about certain people before I run into them at the mall, or think about songs seconds before they come on to the radio. These things happen a lot. Again, sometimes I over think it and think something else will happen, but then it turns out my gut was what I should've gone with. I'm also good at guessing, let's say, whichever gift bag has the best item.

On a different note, I also seem to be in tune with most animals. I tend to be very in-tune when they die. And I have quite a few examples. Once, my cat was very sick. One day while I was at school, my dad took him to the vet to be put down. My cat's body was in a crate in the backseat of my car. When my dad picked me up, I noticed the crate. Normally, I wouldn't have asked, but I knew that it was important and connected to my sick cat. My last thought was my cat being dead before I asked my dad. He confirmed my thoughts. Another time, I walked into my classroom to see that my teacher and the few students that had already shown up were surrounding our class pet's cage. Again, I thought 'What if our class pet died?' right before they told me that out hamster HAD in fact died. This could be purely coincidence, but I'd like to know what you think. This happens sometimes with humans, too, but I am more in tune to animals and what they are thinking. Is there a name for that?

Please tell me what you think and, if you DO think I have psychic powers, how can I strengthen them? Thanks.
