goodbye kitty...


Came across this strange bit of reporting tonight... It's about a cat named Oscar, adopted by a Rhode Island nursing home, who's demonstrated an uncanny ability to predict when a patient is near death. He visits the person, curling up in bed beside him, and within hours, caregivers discover that the patient has passed away. A little ghoulish and creepy to my mind, but staffers say they appreciate the "advanced notice" Oscar provides, allowing them to contact family so that they can be there, with their loved one, for the imminent end.

I find one thing conspicuously missing from the reporting... The article doesn't mention the possibility that Oscar might himself be the cause...

Keep on keepin on~
