Death Cat

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.

    I’m not sure whether I find this moving or creepy — or both.

    yep, Sheila, that pretty much sums it up.

    Just get rid of the cat and nobody will die. Works for our present government.
