QUOTE PROVIDENCE, R.I.  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.  that is friggin insane. I do believe it though, my cat will go and curl up next to someone if they're sick or just feeling really bad. |

Myth holds that cats do the exact opposite, going away from the sick that are about to die. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

when dogs and cats are about to die they will find a crevice or little corner and hide themself away . they just know stuff kind of creepy. but thats why animals can be really comforting to the elderly and sick

Because of that, it's considered bad luck for a cat to refuse to enter the house of a sickly person. There were a lot of other interesting cat myths, too. -------------------- Spam?

QUOTE I see what's happening with the cat...
Patients have heard about the cat predicting death. When the cat curls up on their bed, it SCARES THEM TO DEATH! The cat is RIGHT AGAIN! |
