The staff forgot to mention that the cat was observed holding a pillow over a patient's head on several occasions, then quickly running away as they entered the room.

Given that the cat appears to be accurate in his predictions, I%u2019m glad the dying patients have dementia. If you were cognizant, imagine the horror of having Oscar jump onto the bed with you and curling up for a nap!

I do believe there is something to this story. As a cat lover, I have/had many of them as companions. I currently have two that are 17 years old. I%u2019ve often observed that when a family member is ill, one or more of them will curl up on the bed with the sick person, seemingly to keep him company (though I%u2019ve often joked that they%u2019re just waiting for us die so they can eat us!).

This is and excellent intersection of two areas where science is still rudimentary, death and animal behavior. We have relatively little idea (scientifically) what happens during death, even though it is all around us all the time. Similarly, animal behavior is continually surprising us. That is the wonderful thing about the world, that even though we attempt to understand as much as we can (and I'm a scientist), we are confronted often by how little we know. Excellent.

I don't see anywhere that the cat is being seen as "comforting" anyone.

I have seen this behavior before, and its not all that rare. Most people don't pay any attention to a cat or dog until they do something that 'makes' you notice them. I started watching my wifes Cat when I just happened to see it use a head motion to indicate that it wanted to go out. My wife and I both use to call the cat to let it out and would motion with our heads toward the back door. When I saw the cat standing at the door one day, it was meowing and waving its head in a circle. I made the connection almost immediatelyand from that moment on started watch it more closely. That is exactly what it was doing, motioning for us to open the door. That has started me watching other animals also. You know? they aren't nearly as dumb as we sometimes think and they are a lot more fun to watch now. I wouldn't mind having Oscar come by and visit me for just a minute or so. Then if it walks off.... I am safe for a little while. ;)

There are numerous accounts of animals seeing angels, in the Bible. And there are specific angels that appear at the time of death, so it could be that Oscar sees the angels.

What makes this unusual is the fact that the cat shows the behavior -- not that it can predict death. Cats and dogs have a far more sensitive sense of smell than humans do. The cat probably can smell a change in the body chemistry of the patient about to die. In another case, a dog was trained to smell potential cancer patients, and it was very accurate in detecting cancers.
