Does Cat Predict Deaths of Patients?

Ok... This is my cat TRUE stiry. Back in the 80's I was heavy drinker, been sober almost 18yrs now. Thnks to God. However i had this cat named Patches. She used to get sad when I drank, so she would sit by me. Specially if I was in that wailing, crying stage after too many. One evening I had a freind over, who wasm also drunk. He became loud and started waving his arms and shouting at me. Patches was sitting on top of the arm chair, in the living room seemeimgly getting weird, hear ears were pointed up and her eyes looked like they were glowing. Then with one outrageous leap she flew right across the room and landed on top of this person's back and started to knaw on him, while screaching a diabolical sound. The guy freed himself from her and started to run out the front door. I chased after him but he would not stop. He ran all the way to the end of the street while Patches and I just watch him disapear in the distance! This is a true story, after thAT EVENING I KNEW PATCHES WAS ON

Did it ever occur to anyone that a patient might wait for "someone" to be with them when they die. Maybe when Oscar is there, the patient feels it's now okay to die.

Steubenville, Ohio. Same thing. Cat took to patients that were expiring.

If this is true, at least this cat is only used in a place where patients don't even notice he is around. If I was in a nursing home, and I was aware of this cat...I'd be scared to death. Literally. Also for the families the nurses call after they see the cat on them. What do the families do? "Grandma....we just wanted to say goodbye." "Goodbye?!?!!?!? What are you talking about I feel just fi-----*chokes* ahhhhh!"

cats can sense storms. cats can sense sadness. this is true, stop acting like this isn't near possible, of course it is. humans cant detect it naturally, only with machines. but some animals can detect it easily. its something they use in the wild, so that they leave behind the dying and continue. cats aren't psychic, they just know what a dying person smells and looks like..explain why animals always seem to know why you're upset or sick? ....this isn't fake.

(continued from last post)...and with any luck, their response will be that you're downright uncivilized. When I was sick as a kid, my doberman would come and lay her head on my knee because she knew I was feeling sick. How did she know? While I can touch her nose to see if it's cold and wet or warm and dry, obviously she couldn't tell by the same means.
I'll tell ya right now, it wasn't because she was EVIL and sensed it by using magic. And because she deserved it, I held her head on MY lap years later, when SHE was dying. I just knew - it doesn't mean that *I* am evil.
Get a grip buddy - if you're really that worried that evil animals are on the prowl, you should get your house blessed then go and see a shrink. :) Just friendly advice.

For those of you who feel that "the cat is evil, so let's kill it" ... you're showing your intellectual immaturity. That mentality is what fueled things like the Crusades, witch trials and all sorts of other social immaturity that Human Beings are guilty of in the past. There are no fossils to ever suggest that this planet ever hosted goblins, demons, or evil monsters.

Think about it for a moment... "If I don't understand it, we should kill it." What kind of mentality is that? And where do you draw the line? If John Doe doesn't understand James Smith who has a different political, racial, religious and lifestyle viewpoint, should John Doe kill James Smith?

Most of us would say, "NO! That's insane!" But a few hundred years ago, that would be a perfectly normal reason for person "A" to murder person "B". In fifty years (and HOPEFULLY as soon as TODAY), people will hear your one liner about wanting to kill the cat because it's evil, and... with any luck, their response will be th

I HAD A DOG THAT WAS SIMULAR TO OSCAR. I HAD BACK SURGURY AND WAS IN BED FOR A MONTH UNABLE TO MOVE AND MY DOG NEVER LEFT MY SIDE IN BED EXCEPT TO GO OUT TO TO DO HIS BUISNESS. I THINK ANIMALS ARE SMARTER THAN MOST PEOPLE.

Great, we have a cat predicting death, and that idiot on crossing over that talks to them after they're dead. I think we need to kill them both, they reek with evil!
