Check this out: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/0...ties/death_cat if I saw that cat I think I would fill my shorts. But I think it's kinda errier, weird and interesting

Bet it's Edgar Allan Poe reincarnated.

Wow, that is spooky. I wouldn't want him visiting me, that's for sure. Itis well documented that animals seem to be able to predict things like storms and earthquakes. Maybe there's something to this.

[RustyHicks]

I think they can. Hell, I had a friend down one time for a weekend visit, my cat just loved this guy, except that weekend when my friend came down, my cat took off. He was gone for three days and three nights. My wife and I were frantic, searched all over for him. We even drove up and down the back roads here looking for his body on the road. Nothing. Our friend went back, ten minutes after our friend left, there is the cat coming home. The next day our friend committed suicide, the cat knew our friend was planning this and he couldn't take it.

Even though we've advanced technologically i still believe that there's a ton of stuff in this world that we still don't know. No one likes to admit it though.

I HATE YOU I WAS JUST GONNA POST THAT... bastard

[darth los]

LOL. It's times like these when i'm glad we're online. I would hate to see her angry at anyone. Don't make her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.

[MissJacksonCA]

Au contraire i've been told i'm absolutely adorable when i'm angry... and my boyfriend calls me angel cos he thinks i'm an angel ...i've really got him hoodwinked dont I? heh... If he ever sees the cat maybe it'll be four hours before I cross paths with him lol... but i've never drawn first blow sooo he has nothing to fear ... yet

ha ha i have met oscar the nursing home in question is right near this girls house i know the death cat only in rhode island must be hp lovecraft involved here

[bassman]

I call bullsh*t. MAYBE the cat has some sort of sixth sense, but I highly doubt it. I mean.....it's a damn nursing home. It's where people go to die! The cat probably has a 60-40 chance of sitting next to someone who's about to kick the bucket.

The cat probably has a 60-40 chance of sitting next to someone who's about to kick the bucket. If that were the case then there'd have to be tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of people at the nursing home, which obviously isn't possible, for the rate to be a 60% chance of everyone the cat sits next to dies. Unless it stays in hiding, away from humans, for days/weeks at a time.

[bassman]

I wasn't exactly going for an accurate number there, mike. Just saying that it's most likely a random occurance. It's a nursing home....cats like to curl up beside people....oops...the old person dies. Total coincidence.

[EvilNed]

Bassman, people do not die off that frequently at nursing homes. For a cat to have called 25 people all within 2 hours of their death, and with only a few misses (even though the article mysteriously leaves out how many misses) is unheard off. The statistics of it being complete chance would have to be in 1-1000 territory.

[bassman]

You said it yourself....they didn't say how many misses the cat had. I'm only stating that I believe it's just a strange coincidence. Cats are naturally nuturing animals and the article says that out of all the people it pointed out, they were obviously on their last stretch of life and looked pretty bad. Any animal with common sense could see if another creature is ill.....
