    The Furry Grim Reaper

    Posted 1 year, 3 months ago., on Wednesday, July 25th, 2007, at 8:13 pm

    Death CatJennifer found this story:  Cat Plays Furry Grim Reaper at Nursing Home.

    The cat, who goes by the name Oscar, seems to have an uncanny ability to predict within a few hours when one of the patients in the nursing home is going to die; he is so accurate that staff members will actually call the family of a patient that Oscar has curled up with, knowing that the patient will very likely die soon.  He doesn’t look much like a grim reaper to me; that’s his picture to the left.

    It’s kind of sweet in a way, if somewhat disturbing.  If I were living out my last days in such a nursing home, and dying uncomfortably, it might be nice to have a cat to cuddle up with.  On the other hand, getting a visit from the Cat of Death is probably never a comforting thing.

    If I was a patient at that hospital and I saw that cat come in my room, I wouldn\\\’t know what to do lol. He would try to curl up next to me and I would push him off the bed everytime he tried.
