  It is said that cats can predict natural disasters or changes of the weather. There are many records that cats do something strange before storms, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. And there is another interesting mystery about cats. Did you hear about the sixth-sense cat? Or did you hear about the cat that can predict the death? It surprises many people around the world that there is a cat which can predict the death of the patient.

  The cat named "Oscar" is at a nursing home in Rhode Island, the United States. Oscar has predicted the deaths about 25 times. When the end is near, Oscar predicts the death by sitting on his haunches next to a patient. It means that the patient can live only for about 4 hours. When Oscar selects a patient in this way, a hospital staff gets in touch with family members of the patient. Although most of patient's family members wanted Oscar to be outside the sick room, they thank him for letting them know the death of the patient in advance.

  Oscar became famous for predicting the death after Dr. David Dosa put an article about Oscar in the New England Journal of Medicine. And then, people give the cat a nickname "sixth-sense cat".

  No one knows for sure that there is a specific reason or scientistic meaning for Oscar's behavior. But hospital staffs are suppose not to explain Oscar's ability as far as Oscar gives opportunities to make their farewells for family members of the patient.
