Several newspapers are covering the story of Oscar the cat. This is a cat who lives in a nursing home in the US and knows when a patient is about to die. He goes into the dying person’s room and stays there until they go. Apparently, he has a perfect 25 for 25 record. He’s so good that the nursing home staff now call the families when Oscar sets up shop in a room because he’s never wrong.
If this was a movie some cat-haters would, I imagine, like to think that he is murdering the patients. Oscar the Killer Kitty? I don’t think so.
Some suspect he is psychic. Nope. If he was, his name would be Kreskin, not Oscar.
I’m guessing he just has superior instinct and can detect the symptoms of oncoming death. The signs are there but humans are too dumb to sense them.
The best headline for this story was in yesterday's Times of London:
“If Oscar’s on your bed, you’re dead”.
Oh those British.
Oscar's a pretty cute cat. He sure beats a cloaked and hooded figure with a staff.
Update: Just reading about the cat in The Gazette. Turns out his name is Oscar, not Simon. I've corrected this. But I would've been ready to bet anything his name was Simon. I was so sure. How odd. Weird how things like that happen.

...and we'll soon find out that some psycho nurse has actually been killing the patients that Simon visits.
