The following article's taken from this week's 8 Days.
"There is a kitty in New England, USA, who isn't exactly the personification of all things cute and furry. Yes, Oscar the cat is an adorable feline, but people he takes a shine to... well, die. According to a news website, he seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when patients in a nursing home are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he's made himself comfortable next to some old person. It usually means the patients have less than four hours till they see the light. Dr Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the facility, says Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work there. She says most families are grateful for the advance warning, although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure."
When I read the above article. I didn't know whether to feel impressed or to find it creepy. What I found hilarious was the moral of the story that 8 Days sarcastically inserted at the end. Here goes..
"When your kitty cat finally shows you affection after a decade of snubbing you, it might be time to write that will."Labels: humour, Thought- provoking
