A similar story is Oscar the Cat, from an advanced dementia ward named Steere House in Providence, RI. Amazingly, the cat was able to smell death, and would hop up onto the deathbed and wait as the person passed. I knew the cat personally, it was not friendly, and many family members attempted to bar it from entering a room, and Oscar would scratch insistently to get into said room. While one physician was monitoring the cat's predictive capacity, he noted a streak of ~20 successful predictions of death by the cat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_(therapy_cat) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_(therapy_cat)
