The Cat Who Predicts Death
Oscar the cat resides on the third floor of Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
On a plaque mounted on the wall is an engraved commendation from a local hospice agency: “For his compassionate hospice care, this plaque is awarded to Oscar the Cat.” 
Oscar seems to have a knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. Oscar’s 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.

Cats really do know. My cat, the uncuddly creature that she is, knew when my mother was getting very close to passing. She was attached to my father in the final days–and she never gave him the time of day before or after that. And in the final hours she was on the bed (my mother was home under hospice care) right next to her. It is something I will never forget.
