Cat of Doom

"A cat curled up on your lap is a heartwarming event - unless that cat has
the powers of Oscar - the grim leaper.

Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home
patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours.

His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once
he has chosen someone. It usually means they have less than four hours to live.

Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously and is generally aloof.
“This is not a cat that’s friendly to people,” he said."
