Oscar the Cat
A coworker of mine told me about this news story on abcnews.com.
There is a cat named Oscar that knows when nursing home patients are going to die. He will curl up next to them during their final hours. Excuse the pun but he has been “dead on” with predicting when these patients will die. So far he has done this with 25 patients. Since he has this ability it has led the nursing home staff to contact the patient’s families so that they have a little time with them before they pass on.
I am amazed at what animals can do. They are truly amazing. I’m afraid though that dear old Oscar probably doesn’t have too many friends at the nursing home. That’s one cat that I would not want snuggling up to me.

How strange would that be if he came up to you and snuggled up? That is so weird - but I've heard of these kinds of things happening to animals. They are so intuitive.
I read this story and it is truly amazing. I do believe this is probably true because animals ARE very intuitive. I just wonder exacctly what it is about someone dying that they detect? A certain smell? The way a person acts? I don't or just raw instinct? Very interesting though.
I'm here just reading about the winners from the Dog Days of Summer....thought I'd say hello:)

Have a great day.
