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.

“He doesn’t make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when
patients are about to die,” said Dr. David Dosa in an interview. He
describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday’s issue of
the New England Journal of Medicine.
