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.
