A cat in the U.S. have a strange ability: prediction of death. So far, animal age 5 was predicted by the departure of 50 patients in a nursing home in Rhode Island, USA.
David Dosa, doctors aging science at Brown University, for records in the past 5 years that cats rarely Oscar predictions wrong. Sometimes, Oscar also prove to the team doctor at the nursing home found that they were wrong predictions about the patient about any adjacent death.
Cat is 5 years old and generally not very friendly. It was adopted at the Rehabilitation Center and Steere House nursing home in Providence, Rhode Island, where caring for patients infected with severe dementia. Dosa doctor was first announced the possibility of special Oscar the cat on the New England Journal of Medicine 2007 feedback. As of that time, Oscar has predicted 25 cases of death. So far, it has doubled "achievements" of his case to 50. Oscar convinced that the doctor predicted Dosa death is not "lucky".
black white cat often wander out of this room to other rooms but rarely stopped next to any patient that unless Oscar predictions anyone alive only a few hours. And it around next to her in the last minute life.
If outside the locked room of a patient dying, Oscar will scratch up the door to try to be inside
Once, the nurse brought the cat to the bed of a patient's guess about which they died, Oscar was removed and sat next to the other patients in another room. Oscar's predictions are even better than the receiving of the nurse: The patient is next to a cat that died immediately that evening, while patients whose nurse predict death two days after new dead.
Dosa doctors and other employees of the center believe the prediction accuracy of the Oscar to say they will warn the family members of patients when a cat jumped in bed of someone and don't go Oscar does not seem like wasted time. It's just about 2 minutes out, eat some food then back to the bed of the patient. As if it had to to look after such patients.
Dosa he adds, nursing homes and raising five other cat but the cat does not have the ability to special Oscar. In his book entitled "Meet the Oscars: unusual gift from a normal cat "Doctor Dosa not give scientific explanations about specific capabilities of the Oscar.
But he said that Oscar - just as the dog is considered to have the ability to detect cancer - can detect xeton, produces a distinct smell of dead cells causes. Understand the importance of Oscar, everyone isn't uncomfortable in the presence of it now.But he said that Oscar - just as the dog is considered to have the ability to detect cancer - can detect xeton, produces a distinct smell of dead cells causes. Understand the importance of Oscar, everyone is now uncomfortable in the presence of it. Relatives and friends of patients feel comforted and sometimes praise a cat in the obituary posted on notice. "People really comforting to think that the cat was there when the body of they died while they can not, "he said Dosa.
