US cat 'predicts patient deaths'

A US cat that is reportedly able to sense when a nursing home's residents are about to die is baffling doctors.

Oscar has a habit of curling up next to patients at the home in Providence, Rhode Island, in their final hours.

According to the author of a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, the two-year-old cat has been observed to be correct in 25 cases so far.


Oscar meows in protest if removed from the room of a dying patient

Rest of the story here: Linkage

That is very cool. It reminds me of the girl in Russia who can tell someone in pain about all of their problems, because she says that she can feel their exact pain within her own body when she touches the patient.

I love these dumb-ass threads...

Maybe the reason people are dying is BECAUSE OF THE CAT!

Cause and effect?!?

If I was one of those old folks I'd say "why take the chance" - "goodnight kittie! RIP"...

I hope the patients don't know...they'd be scared of the cat.
