Remember that cat that lives in the old age home and predicts people’s deaths. Well that darn cat is still up to his old tricks.
Catholic Jedi reports:
Oscar, the resident cat at the Steere House nursing home in Providence, seems to be able to predict when residents are about to die. According to Dr. David Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Brown University medical school, Oscar has been accurate with his terminal diagnoses for the past five years. In fact, Oscar sometimes knows better than the staff. When a patient is close to death, Oscar will jump on his or her bed and keep vigil.
As I’ve said before, has anyone ever thought that…I don’t know…MAYBE THE CAT IS KILLING THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm. Old guy doing fine. Enter cat. Old guy dies.
And everyone thinks “oh that cat must be psychic?” NOooooooo! The cat’s a killer. Everyone knows cats are evil. Everyone. Please join me in getting the word out to stop El Gato de la Muerte. Let’s put him behind bars where he belongs. Do it now…or he might just show up on your doorstep.

Anyone familiar with HP Lovecraft's "The Cats of Ulthar"?

I love cats but I laughed so hard at your post that I'm repressing the urge to sic El Gato on you.

During the good old days cats were considered familiars of the Devil. I think they knew something we've forgotten.

I love cats, but this is hilarious!

Yeah. And during the "good old days" dogs were considered vile and unclean, too.
Maybe there IS such a thing as progress, occasionally. Very, very occasionally….

Paul, I take it that humor isn't your strong point.

We think we are so very advanced. The animal kingdom has senses that are clearly programmed by the Almighty and we are so busy we fail to stop and feel….listen to the Holy Spirit for we are missing a great deal.

I think this was an episode of "House" last year — they decided that the cat was looking for a warm bed and thus gravitated to patients with fevers or electric blankets.

hahaha I loved that episode of House. I didn't know it was based on a real thing.
