Oscar the Cat predicts deaths in nursing home
Oscar, a 2-year-old house cat at Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island, has foretold the deaths of more than 25 residents.
When Oscar curls up on a patient’s bed and stays there, the staff knows it’s time to call the family. It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live. The cat lives among patients with severe dementia in an end-state ward where death is common. The facility treats people with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Oscar’s uncanny prophecies are described in today’s New England Journal of Medicine, in an article by geriatrician David Dosa of Brown University.

Oscar is using his power for good, making people feel good during the end of their life. I think a lot of animals have abilities like this. My cat for example knows when it is going to rain a day before it does, and hides in the closet.
