Oscar was a 2 year old cat that was adopted in a home nursing and rehabilitation center. Oscar seemed to have an uncanny or the ability to tell when a patient is going to die, when a patient is about to die he would sniff and observe patients and sit next to them for nurses to notice. Most people were thankful to Oscar because he gave them an opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones.
Oscar was better at predicting death than most people who worked at the center and Dr Joan Teno was convinced of Oscar's talent after he made his 13th correct call. Oscar was a very special cat although one would think was all coincidental or witchcraft involved because death is seen as an unpredictable situation.
What had most people confused was that no one was certain if Oscar's behavior was scientifically significant. What was intriguing was that when Oscar sat next to dying patients they were so ill that they probably did not know he was there,
although Oscar as a death predicting cat, he enjoyed the time he spent alone without predicting whether someone is going to die or not and during that time he became very relieved. For Oscar's marvelous work he was highly regarded by the families of the residents whom he serves thus making him very important.
