  • ""An otherwise ordinary cat, Oscar has an almost psychic sensitivity to human beings - he knows, before any doctor or scientist when people are at the end of their lives. As the resident cat in Steere House, an old peoples's nursing home in Rhode Island, USA, his mere presence at the bedside is viewed by doctors and nursing-home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death - a blessing really, because it allows staff members to notify families that the end is near."--P. [4] of cover."

Adopted by staff members at Steere House nursing home when he was a kitten, the three-year-old tabby has presided over the deaths of more than twenty-five nursing home residents thus far. His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing-home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, considered a blessing because it allows staff members to notify families that the end is near and because he provides companionship to those who would otherwise have died alone"--Publisher's description."@en
