Oscar the cat


It sounds like a tabloid tale or an urban legend, but this anecdote actually appeared in the New England Journal of Medecine: Oscar the cat, living in a rehabilitiation centre in Rhode Island, VS, predicts when one of the patients will die, and keeps them company. Read the entire story here.

Stories of love and compassion always give me a fuzzy feeling, but all the more in those extaordinary cases when it crosses species boundaries.
