The cat tolls for thee

The first thing I do every morning is check my Yahoo! email account. They always have these weird little stories I usually enjoy reading. This story is particularly creepy. It's about cat that predicts when a nursing home patient is about to die! In 25 proven cases Oscar, the cat, snuggles up with patients hours before their passing. The patients and families are comforted in this, but what if you had no idea you were that close to death and Oscar makes an appearance? How freaked out would you be? Of course if you were in a nursing home you are not the farthest from death, and since he is on the dementia wing of the facility, the patients may not even realize what the symbolism in his presence means. But what if they do? Would they succumb to tradition, give up all hope and fight when they see the furry grim reaper and die? Does that make Oscar a Kevorkian cat? Okay, I'm playing, but it calls for much questioning. The cat meows and paces in frustration when taken out of the patients room. That's a creepy cat.
