It is just amazing.
he climbs in bed when he senses the end is within hours for people.
He has proved doctors wrong in their estimates of time left also.
How does he do it?

This cat was in a 2007 essay in the New England Journal of Medicine!
This happened at the Steere House Nursing and Rehab. Center in Providence R.I.

Not only have I read the book, I've given it to cat-loving friends who work with the elderly. It's an amazing story.

Ive read about a cat(s)that did this. I dont rember if it was oscar.

Guess if you are a cat lover, what better way to go than stroking the fur of a gentle cat.

Maybe I should be concerned that arnold sleeps with me every night!

In "Dr Sleep" by Stephen King there's a cat that does this. I wonder if Oscar was his inspiration for that
