Death Cat

[ama]

Interesting and slightly creepy article about a cat that accurately predicts death. Of special interesting to RJman.

When Oscar was about six months old the staff noticed that he would curl up to sleep with patients who were about to die.

So far he has accurately predicted about 50 deaths.

Wasn't this an episode of House?

I think what's happening here is obvious: This cat is a serial killer.

Also, this was an episode of House. I believe they discovered the cat was attracted to warmth, i.e. fevers.

Agreed. They had pretty much the same explanation too, right? Sh!t, I thought that stuff was fake...

Old news.

You think I don't keep up on cat news?

And despite House, they still don't know how this cat appears to know when a patient is about to die -- he's been a better predictor than the doctors themselves.

It's a cat in a nursing home. Here's my prediction - they are all going to die.
