Are these people dumb?
The cat is killing these people!! Duh!!!
"Oh wow...every time he snuggles next to someone they end up dying within four hours...it's amazing."
Moron!!
Wake up.
The cat is killing these people. How? I don't know. But cats aren't psychics.
If this were a movie, we'd all be screaming at you idiots the next time the cat snuggled up to someone.
Maybe he's licking their hands with poison.
'Nuff said.
Oscar the cat predicts patients' deaths
By RAY HENRY, Associated Press Writer 29 minutes ago
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - 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.
"He doesn't make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die," said Dr. David Dosa in an interview.
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.
Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously and is generally aloof.
"This is not a cat that's friendly to people," he said.
Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work there, said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill
She was convinced of Oscar's talent when he made his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasn't eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish tinge, signs that often mean death is near.
