The truth about cats is the ability to predict death

If you are a treatment patient at the Nursing Center and recovering Steere, Rhode Island, USA, you must be very careful with an uninvited guest: the yellow-brown white cat named Oscar.

Not because Oscar is not friendly, but according to Dr. David Dosa's work there, Oscar has a very special ability to predict the impending deaths. Every few hours before the patient is about to die, the cat jumps on his bed again and lies beside him, although he rarely plays with anyone. The staff at the nursing home noted Oscar had correctly predicted at least 50 deaths within 5 years. What could explain the strange power of Oscar?

In an Oscar analysis published in the scientific journal Skeptical Inquirer, researcher Joe Nickell points out some scientific points around this amazing ability. Accordingly, some notable questions are: Is Oscar right at the time of death or within minutes or hours? Is its occurrence recorded in all deaths or only for some people? Is it standing next to a specific sick person and shouting to warn the nurse or just accidentally wandering there before the incident?

Although not enough data for these questions has been collected yet, if Oscar actually visits patients who are about to die more often than others, experts can explain this phenomenon on a scientific basis. .

Oscar's ability to act is simply to warn the nurse and medical staff of the patient's current condition. For example, for people who are dying, the frequency of activity and travel in the room will be higher (the reason is that health workers often pay attention and follow up). Oscar can be very nice to the patient's bedside, simply because he feels something unusual.

In the animal world, many species survive the ability to sense and respond to signals that are difficult to detect around. The same thing has been proven with the case of the world famous Clever Hans horse in the 1800s. Hans not only counts but also determines the time, reads and writes in spelling.

However, in a study last year, scientists finally found the bottom line. They realized that Hans reacted to his coach's unconscious signal system. In questions about the days of the week, the meaning of a word, or the question of mathematics, the trainer will make subtle movements that are difficult to detect (sometimes merely a facial change) only Hans realized and did it.

Back in the case of Oscar, if the cat kept wandering around the room, the possibility of contact with many people, including dying patients, was quite high and thus, this was only random, accidental. However, Dosa and many others claim otherwise.

Previously, there was an interesting study showing that dogs are animals that can detect cancer and some other diseases, although the success rate is not high. Although not capable of psychic but instead, their super sensitive nose helps detect signs of very faint disease appear during the body's reaction to the disease, Like dogs, Oscar is also possible smell like that. The chemicals released from the body when dying will trigger a reaction but it is unclear because countless other mixed odors in the hospital such as flowers, food, medicine, cleaning solutions . have hidden 'odors' death incense ' there.

So far, the story of Oscar cat has not been clearly explained by science and therefore, the lovely Oscar belief is really a serial killer, spreading death to places where it passes through still continue to exist.
