Summary:When Oscar arrived at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Rhode Island he was a cute little cat with attitude. He loved to stretch out in a puddle of sunlight and chase his tail until he was dizzy. Occasionally he consented to a scratch behind the ears, but only when it suited him.

Apparently, this ordinary cat possesses an extraordinary gift: he knows instinctively when the end of life is near.
