Have you ever wondered if animals understand the world better than we do? Oscar the Cat is a perfect example of this mystery.
In 2005, Oscar was adopted by a nursing home in the United States. At just six months old, he was intended to be a therapy cat. But soon, the staff noticed something unusual about him. Oscar wasn’t just any cat; he had a peculiar gift.
When Oscar first arrived, he was a shy feline. He preferred solitude, often hiding under beds or in supply closets. He wasn’t the type to seek out human company. That is, until someone was nearing death.
Researchers speculate that Oscar could smell the biochemicals released by dying cells. This extraordinary sense led him to comfort those nearing the end of their lives.
In one instance, the staff was sure a resident was about to pass away. But Oscar refused to sit with them. Instead, he chose another resident who seemed healthier. Shockingly, it was this person who passed away first.
Over his lifetime, Oscar correctly predicted over 100 deaths. His presence became a gentle warning, a sign for the staff and families. Some called him the “Angel of Death,” while others saw him as a comforting angel.
