Oscar. The cat of death.

Quote:

In fact, the popular press accounts of Oscar the Cat provide more scientific analysis than the original journal article—they quote animal behavior experts who speculate on how he might accomplish his feat. Dosa tells us only that "Oscar the Cat has had an uncanny ability to predict when residents are about to die" and that he's "presided over the deaths of more than 25 residents" by nuzzling them during their last few hours of life.

This wasn't the original new story, but I think it's ****ing amazing. This cat named Oscar goes to an old-folks home and conforts the residents. Oscar though scares the residents because if he decides to snuggle up with you, it might be the last thing you do. All people have died within four hours of the happening. I think so far he's predicted 25 deaths.

****ing crazy.

Leno's been talking about it in a couple shows for the last week or so. He says Oscar's lying next to NBC's fall lineup next.

I don't believe in this **** because the people in the house are old. Hence, they will die some time soon...

If this news is so old then I am so late about hearing about it >.>;

Ah so this cat is like the Grim Reaper eh? Kinda cool yet creepy at the same time, I would hate to be old and have him snuggle up to me telling me that I have only 4 hours left to live >:O
