Death kitty


Have you heard about the cat who can sense when nursing home patients are just an hour or two away from death? He has been right 25 out of 25 times. WaPo:

    When he curls up beside a frail, elderly patient in a Rhode Island dementia-care unit, Oscar the cat is telling the staff that death is near.

    The two-year-old tabby has done so with almost perfect accuracy 25 times since he was brought into the ward as a kitten. He tends to ignore patients until the moments when his comfort is perhaps needed the most, staff members say.

If I had a cat like that I would become a life insurance salesman, or I'd toss him into the laps of liberals.
