I came across a wonderful story about a cat who snuggles up beside citizens of a nursing home four hours before they die. It’s happened so often that nurses now know when to call family members and let them know when their loved ones are near death. Oscar’s story is in the Providence Journal.
Also read the New England Journal of Medicine article on Oscar.
In the article the guy says that he is clearly not psychic. I personally feel cats are more attuned to energies and therefore I feel that this cat is not psychic but connected in a way he is in tune with these people. Animals are angels!
Yes, he knows when their time is near–but that fact that he choses to stay at their side is what amazes me. How incredibly sweet!
