This Hospice Cat Entered a Room, What Happened Next Shook the World with Surprise!

Oscar a therapy cat was one of six cats adopted in 2005 by the Steere House Nursing, Rhode Island. Nobody imagined the extraordinary events that followed after her adoption.
The staff at the nursing home were shocked when they saw that Oscar chose to nap next to resident patients who died within several hours of his arrival. It seemed to staff as if Oscar were trying to comfort and provide company to people as they died.
This was particularly weird considering Oscar was described as generally aloof and not a cat that's friendly to people. Joan Teno, a physician at Steere House, clarified that "it's not that the cat is consistently there first. But the cat always does manage to make an appearance, and it always seems to be in the last two hours.
It seemed to staff as if Oscar were trying to comfort and provide company to people as they died.
After Oscar accurately predicted 25 deaths, staff started calling family members of residents as soon as they discovered him sleeping next to a patient in order to notify them and give them an opportunity to say goodbye before the impending death.
Oscar made international headlines in 2007 after the New England Journal of Medicine published an article about him by Steere House geriatrician Dr. David Dosa. It is reported that Oscar accurately predicted 100 deaths till 2022 when she died.
Dosa recounts one instance when staff was convinced of the imminent death of one patient but Oscar refused to sit with that person, choosing instead to be on the bed of another patient down the hallway. Oscar proved to be right. The person he sat with died first, taking staff on the ward by surprise.
Hypotheses for this ability include that Oscar was picking up on the lack of movement in such patients or that he could smell biochemicals released by dying cells.
CBS News consulted several animal specialists who had various hypotheses, such as that Oscar might have smelled some chemical that is released just before death and his attendance in rooms with that odor may have been a learned behavior, or that he was picking up on the stillness and lack of movement in the room rather than a smell.
But the actual reason still remains a mystery.
