NEW YORK

(AFP) - He is a two-year-old cat and looks innocent enough. But at the nursing home where he lives in the

US

state of

Rhode Island

, Oscar has developed a reputation as an angel of death.

Since being adopted as a kitten by staff at the advanced dementia unit of

Providence

’s Steere House Nursing and

Rehabilitation

Center

, Oscar has revealed a rather morbid tendency to pick which patient is going to die next.

According to David Dosa, a geriatrician at

Rhode Island

Hospital

in

Providence

, Oscar makes regular rounds, looking in on patients and giving them a quick sniff, before either moving on or settling down for a cuddle.

So accurate have his predictions been, that as soon as the white and tabby harbinger of death curls up with one of the patients, staff immediately start summoning family and clergy to the soon-to-be deathbed.

"No one dies on the third floor unless Oscar pays a visit and stays awhile," Dosa wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine.

"His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, allowing staff members to adequately notify families," he added.

"Thus far, he has presided over the deaths of more than 25 residents."

Dosa did not offer any explanation for Oscar’s uncanny powers of prognostication, which patients were not yet believed to have spotted.

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him
away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make
him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his
behavior. Allow your intuition (or
spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a
relationship that’s not meant to be.
Slower is better. Never live your life
for a man before you find what makes you
truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man
was not treating you as you deserve then
heck no, you can’t "be friends."
A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.
Don’t settle. If you feel like he is
stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don’t stay because you think "it will
get better." You’ll be mad at yourself a
year later for staying when things are
not better!
The only person you can control in a
relationship is you.
Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children
by a bunch of different women.
He didn’t marry them when he got them
pregnant, Why would he treat you any
differently?
Always have your own set of friends
separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats
you. If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will
use it against you later. You cannot
change a man’s behavior.
Change comes from within.
Don’t EVER make him feel he is more
important than you are… even if he has
more education or in a better job. Do
not make him into a quasi-god. He is a
man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone Else’s man. If he
cheated with you, he’ll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you
ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the
bending…compromise is two way street!
You need time to heal between
relationships…there is nothing cute
about baggage… deal with your issues
before pursuing a new relationship
You should never look for someone to
COMPLETE you…a relation ship consists
of two WHOLE individuals…look for
someone complimentary…not
supplementary.
Dating is fun…even if he doesn’t turn
out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes…when a man
always know where you are, and your
always readily available to him- he
takes it for granted.
Never move into his mother’s house.
Never co-sign for a man. (Hallelujah,
thank you Jesus!)
Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t
give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know
others.
Share this with other ladies….. You’ll
make someone smile, another rethink her
choices, and another woman prepare. They
say it takes a minute to find a special
person, an hour to appreciate them, a
day to love them and an entire lifetime
to forget them.
