Oscar, the cat with the purr of death
Saw Oscar on NBC's nightly news
"He's a cat with an uncanny instinct for death," said David Dosa, assistant professor at the Brown University School of Medicine and a geriatric specialist. "He attends deaths. He's pretty insistent on it."
In the two years since Oscar was adopted into the dementia unit of the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre in Providence he has maintained close vigil over the deaths of more than 25 patients, nursing staff and doctors say.

Just another reason I don't like cats. My wife hates them even more than me. If we go somewhere where they have cats, the cats make a bee-line for my wife. Invariably, they will rub around her legs, climb in her lap, etc. If I thought they had a brain, I'd swear they were irritating her for spite. Sorry, cat lovers, but I just hate 'em. Wouldn't ever mistreat one, though. 0
