“That seemly healthy senior soon died a few days later. Over the course of his life, Oscar correctly predicted over 100 people’s deaths, and comforted them in their last moments. He died on February 22nd, 2022 at the age of 17.”

Others were quick to share similar brushes they had had with seemingly all-knowing animals. One person wrote: “That actually happened when I worked as an aid in a nursing home, years ago.

“One of my residents was 100 years old and her time was coming to an end. Our home’s cat, Louie, started spending time in the woman’s room.

“The woman’s daughter freaked out and demanded that the cat be removed – she felt his presence meant her mom was dying. Unfortunately, the cat was right.”

Another chimed in with: “Yeah it’s the biochemistry (most likely). Came here to say this. Even dogs can know when people have cancer. Their body starts secreting different hormones/enzymes which the animals can detect.”

A third replied: “I can think of far worse ways to go than snuggling up with an affectionate cat.” Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: “Death comes for us all. I would be happy to have Oscar be my guide to the afterlife.”
