The ‘New England Journal of Medicine’ published an article on a cat called Oscar that lives in a nursing home. CNN ran this story this evening. Oscar has the ability to know when old farts are about to pull their last finger in life. Oscar goes inside the room of those passing into the light, curls into a ball and sure enough, by morning, the elderly whom the cat has chosen to sleep with, dies within a few hours.
Journalists compare the phenomena to dogs that sniff out cancer. The news channel reported that felines have an incredible sense of smell. Physicians and scientists at the Journal believe that because humans release toxins when they die, cats are able to sniff out the smell of death and the underworld.
If I were a reporter for CNN or a journalist at the New England Journal of Medicine, I would ask why is there a cat in a nursing home in the first place? Don’t some people have allergies to cats and death?
What happened to investigative reporting?
Perhaps Oscar is simply killing old people with bad allergies.
