Making rounds with Oscar [electronic resource] : the extraordinary gift of an ordinary cat / by David Dosa.

Dosa, David. (Author). Porter, Ray, 1965- (Added Author).

Summary:

An otherwise ordinary cat, Oscar has the uncanny ability to predict when people are about to die. Adopted by staff members at Steere House nursing home when he was a kitten, the three-year-old tabby has presided over the deaths of more than twenty-five nursing home residents thus far. His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing-home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, considered a blessing because it allows staff members to notify families that the end is near and because he provides companionship to those who would otherwise have died alone.
