Aw, this little kitty is meowing up a storm. I’m sure he’s fine though, that cat structure is likely intended to be climbed upon by cats.
Can’t see the video in your reader? Watch it here.
This cat, named Oscar, lives in a hospital and somehow knows which patients are about to pass away and will try to comfort them in their final moments:
A cat with an uncanny ability to detect when nursing home patients are about to die has proven itself in around 50 cases by curling up with them in their final hours, according to a new book.
The tortoiseshell and white cat spends its days pacing from room to room, rarely spending any time with patients except those with just hours to live.
If kept outside the room of a dying patient, Oscar will scratch on the door trying to get in.
When nurses once placed the cat on the bed of a patient they thought close to death, Oscar “charged out” and went to sit beside someone in another room. The cat’s judgement was better than that of the nurses: the second patient died that evening, while the first lived for two more days.
“People were actually taking great comfort in this idea, that this animal was there and might be there when their loved ones eventually pass. He was there when they couldn’t be,” [Dr. Dosa] said.
Cute? Creepy? Both? I’m not sure how I’d feel about Oscar showing up at my door. (via telehgraph.co.uk)
