It was inevitable...

The outing of Oscar has led to the revelation that there are other "death cats," like this cutie, Buckwheat, resident cat in a Seattle nursing home. Now, I prefer "change-of-state-sensitive cats," as a label, myself. But hey, I'm keeping my eye on Musetta. Everytime she jumps on the bed...

The Death Cat of Providence

Meet Oscar, the death cat of Providence. A cat who roams the halls, cuddling up to those who have reached their final hours. Sounds spooky, doesn't it? But in reality, the Providence mentioned is simply the capital of Rhode Island, which while nice is not divine. And the story of Oscar is sweet, rather than evil. But it does lead one to wonder about the paranormal sensitivities of our feline friends, doesn't it?
