Animals Death Posted on Wed Jul 25, Comments "Teno wonders if the cat notices telltale scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him. Sounds like confirmation bias to me.

If so, given the population, if he were randomly selecting a person to sleep next to, what are the odds for his hit rate? Many cultures believed that cats were the ones who managed the passing of the dead from this world to the next. So it's an interesting story. We've known cases where animals can tell when an earthquake was about to happen, or before the big tsunami, animals ran off to higher ground.

I'll tell you one thing- I wouldn't let the cat come near me, true or not.

I saw him in a documentary recently Thing is my wife had that documentary on video from long before we got married. If he's still alive he can't have long left. Seeing as my cat, Nina, used to come lay with me whenever I was sick in bed I believe this.

She would usually sleep in my mother's room but if I was sick or not feeling well she would come in and lie by my head and purr. She seemed to know when things were amiss with one of the family members, she even attacked my mother once when she was going to beat me for something bad I'd done Sharruma, it must be a different Oscar, because this one is described as being 2 years old in the article.

If there is something else outside this range, that would be a major scientific discovery that has eluded thousands of scientists and engineers for years. This of course assumes dead people emit some different kind of electromagnetic waves when they are close to death, which seems unlikely. I like his stoic arrogant look. What the hell is a cat doing in a medical facility?? Cuts costs I suppose. Couple of things regarding Oscar Megan as you are well aware Dogs and other animals have long been established as "good" etc.

The answer Megan is yes.

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.

CBS News consulted several animal specialists who had various hypotheses, such as that Oscar may be smelling some chemical that's released just before death and his attendance in rooms with that odor may be a learned behavior or that he's picking up on the stillness and lack of movement in the room rather than a smell. Some have argued that Oscar does not have an ability to predict death, and that this is a case of confirmation bias. As of [update] , it is believed that Oscar has accurately predicted deaths.
