In 2005, a nursing home in the US got a six-month-old kitten named Oscar as a therapy cat. The staff soon noticed something unusual about him.
Oscar often liked to be by himself, but sometimes he would go and lie next to one of the residents. Strangely, the resident he chose would often pass away within a few hours.
At first, the workers didn't think it was important, but after it happened 20 times, they started to think Oscar knew when someone was going to die. So, they began to call the resident's family if they saw Oscar with them.
Some people think Oscar could sense certain smells from dying cells, and that's why he went to comfort residents who were alone.
There was even a time when the staff thought one resident was going to die, but Oscar stayed with a different, healthier-looking person, who then died first.
Oscar lived until 2022 and was right about more than 100 deaths during his life.
🎵 Changes in latitudes, changes in catittudes
Hunting is the most fun game,
All of my running, and all of my cunning
If I couldn't murder, I would go insane 🎵
My pet needs help finding a YouTube channel of OTHER CATS she used to watch. 😾 She says it was two cats and a dog living in an apartment with two brothers in Korea or maybe Japan.
@GeminiJ13@Foster_Fluff Did you even read the bio on the account? It’s ok to do 5 seconds of research before sharing your unsolicited opinion. It doesn’t hurt, I promise.

🎶 You gotta pay the cuddle tax
Every time you wake up
When I hear you stirring
This kitty's gonna check up
I'm not just asking 'cause I'm looking for laps
This is real important business,
Gotta pay the cuddle tax 🎵
I have given my pets the gift of yet another mystery ailment! The vet has ruled out many scary possibilities so now they just get to wait and see if it happens again. I like keeping my pets on their toes!
The good news is that according to my bloodwork my kidneys are stable! Also my weight is good and I still have my excellent muscle tone. The bad news is we're not sure what made me unable to walk yesterday—maybe blood pressure, but they need to do some more checking.
