Death cat?

I found a cat that I wouldn't want on my lap! The Age today had an article about a cat who lives in a nursing home and can sense within hours when someone is about to die. "When Oscar settles on a patient's bed, caregivers take it as a sign that family members should be summoned immediately to bid their loved one farewell."

it's weird but kinda spooky. I remembered a superstition about cat, and found a similar one (english version ;p) "Some people believe that cats may be able to see the spectre of death." from

but cats are cute *trying not to think about the superstitions*.

I heard about these kinds of things happening. My grandparents had a cat who always knew when one of them was about to get home... and even if it wasn't in the normal 'back from work' hour... she knew about 5 mins before that someone was about to come home. :)
