In order to obtain the new cat, some staff members visited a shelter for displaced animals. They were selected for a one-month-old white and gray cat, later called Oscar.
Oscar lived on the third floor of the clinic, a floor dedicated to caring for patients with Alzheimer's (dementia). In other words, it is the place where all the hopeless cases, the elderly patients who are expected to die soon, go.
After Oscars completed his first year in the clinic, the workers noticed a strange behavior that suddenly occurred to his actions, making him distinct from other cats in the sanatorium. Oskar was not courting human beings and trying as far as possible to get away from them, and was not satisfied, of course, to sit beside the patients in their family no matter how they tried to courted him.
But his innate aversion to humans did not apply to dying patients. Whenever there was a patient dying on the third floor, Oscar suddenly appeared to take the patient's bed and lay beside him in astonishment. He sat quietly and put his head on the patient's body as if relieving him and his body. That the soul departs from the body of the patient until Oscar rises from his place and leaves the bed immediately as if he realized that his jellies had died. The length of time between the appearance of an Oscar and the death of the patient was often only two hours.
At first, none of the doctors and staff at the clinic believed that Oscar could really sense and predict human death. This is impossible, of course, but Oscar's coincidences became more frequent day after day, which increased everyone's perplexity.
On one occasion, an elderly lady with a blood clot in her leg was in a coma. Her leg was stiff and cold because the blood had not reached her, but the doctors did not expect her death soon, or so they thought, until Oscar suddenly appeared and got up, sat down At her injured leg and took it with his soft flour as if trying to warm it, and after nearly two hours got up from his place and left quietly, the old woman had died!
Once again, Oscar went into the room of one of the patients. He climbed into the bed and then sat quietly next to the sleeping patient, but the patient's family did not like Oscar, and one of the nurses gently carried him out of the room. But the stubborn lion did not go too far. He started with a cry like a cry. He knocked on the door and scribbled his claws like asking for permission to enter. Once they opened the door again, he ran and jumped back into the sick old man's bed, which died within the next two hours. This time too, doctors did not expect that patient to die.
The controversy over Oscar's capabilities began to increase day after day within the sanatorium. The team believed in his abilities, the team rejected it categorically. In the end, both teams decided to give Oscar a test that casts doubt on them.
There was an elderly patient dying in one of the rooms on the third floor, and he was expected to die in less than an hour, so they brought Oscar to the patient's room and sat him on his bed. They said that his survival next to the dying patient would certainly confirm his supernatural abilities. If Oscar leaves the bed and leaves before the patient dies, it means that he has no ability to predict death and that the whole thing is no more than a coincidence.
Amidst skepticism and disillusionment, Oscar watched as he left bed a few moments later, which the skeptics saw as irrefutable evidence that Oscar's alleged talent was illusory because he could not realize that the patient was in the final state of dislocation.
But the skeptics were short-lived. On the contrary, the dying old man did not die within an hour, as the doctors expected. He surprised everyone and clung to life for ten more hours. Shortly before his death, Oscar appeared again, this time on his own, he took the old man's bed with grace and sat quietly beside him as he did every time. Less than two hours later, the old man died in awe of both supporters and skeptics. Oscar has outstripped doctors, their equipment and sophisticated equipment in predicting the patient's exact death date.
Over the next two years, Oscars predicted the death of 25 patients. No one doubted his abilities, but the staff at the clinic watched his inspection rounds with great interest, and his sitting next to one of the patients was the hallmark that death would soon surround the patient. The hospital staff rushed to contact the patient's family and asked them to come immediately because their patient would die within a few hours.
Despite the fame of Oscar in the clinic, the world only heard of his talent and extraordinary abilities in 2007 when Dr. David Doza wrote an extensive article in the journal NEJM, one of the oldest and most diligent medical journals in the United States. Since then, Oscar has become the focus of attention of the press and the people. Oscar predicts another 50 deaths by 2010, according to the website of the Steer Clinic.
