From our corporate cousins in Rhode Island comes the creepy story of Oscar, a cat that predicts death. He was raised by nursing home staff, and has been at the bed of more than 25 residents when they died.

[Oscar] goes into another room, where another woman, surrounded by family photos, rests. This time he stays on her bed. A nurse notices and gets out the woman's chart. She begins making phone calls.

The family comes and takes seats in the room. The priest arrives. One family member explains to her son that the cat is there "to help Grandma get to heaven."

A half-hour later, the patient dies. (Link)

I want to know if any of the patients have ever seen Oscar climb onto their bed and tell him they're not ready to go yet.
