Oscar the Cat Predicts Nursing Home Deaths!
How strange is this.
Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.
After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. He’d sniff and observe patients, then sit beside people who would wind up dying in a few hours.
And there’s plenty more to read on that link provided, if it takes your interest i recommend you read the whole article.
Apparently it doesn’t freak out the selected patient, as they are usually too ill to realise the cat with them.
Also understandably, some families have put the cat outside, while the patient is nearing his end, the cat, however, paces up and down outside.
Most families are grateful for the advanced warning, although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure.
How freaky is that?
Does he sense something we dont?
