Death Cat Hates “Heavy” Responsibility
Oscar the cat lives in a Rhode Island nursing home and has the amazing ability to predict what patient/elderly person is going die! Oscar curls up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. Usually, it means they have less than four hours to live! We asked Oscar some questions.
Hating It Magazine: Is it too much sometimes? Predicting these deaths?
Oscar: Yeah, I hate it. I mean, I just want vittles and to like, you know, chill…I’m a cat, not a doctor. They think I’m like a Shaman or something here…hate it.
H.I.M.: Do the patients know what’s up when you come in and curl up?
Oscar: Usually, yeah…it’s annoying. They start praying, crying and hugging me…so annoying.

Fascinating, as funny as it may seem. I think much study needs to be done on the use of animals (and music) in all kinds of human therapies.

I feel like Occham’s razor might suggest kitty is doing the killing.
