These are especially afraid of her eyes. She sometimes stares in a strange way that seems to be with her and she understands, as if she wants to talk about Something about a hidden secret that you carefully hide behind those big, gleaming eyebrows, about things and things you see clearly when we can't see them. Because of the ambiguity surrounding the cat has been associated with the name since ancient times a lot of myths and myths, they said that the cat seven lives, and said that it can sense the existence of jinn and ghosts, and that the black cat is a jinn.
Of course, most people nowadays do not believe in these old myths, and may even mock them. But they may reconsider their calculations if they hear the story of Oscar, the tiny creature that puzzled scientists and made many people wonder how far the truth and superstition divide.

He spent his entire life on the third floor of the sanatorium
Oscar for those who do not know is a beautiful cat whose strange story began in 2005 in the state of Rhode Island. That year, one of the state's oldest and most prestigious health institutions, the Steer Clinic for Elderly Care, decided to adopt a new cat to be added to the group of cats and pets that the clinic has long been nurturing and releasing in the corridors and lobbies of the clinic to create an atmosphere of intimacy and fun. Benefit and benefit to the psychology and morale of inmates and employees at the same time.

To get the new cat, some of the clinic's staff visited a homeless animal shelter, where they picked a one-month-old white-gray cat, later called Oscar.
Oscar lived on the third floor of the sanatorium, a floor dedicated to the care of patients with dementia, in other words, where all hopeless cases go, that is, elderly patients who are expected to die soon.

He conducts inspection tours like doctors
Little Oscar soon grew up to become a beautiful cat in just a few months.Although he was nurtured by human beings from a young age, he was always keen to keep a separation between him and them.It was not a cat that wooed people and wiped his back with their feet in Ghanj and Dalal. Oscar was not that kind of cat. He was a mysterious cat in his actions. Only a few nurses who contributed to his upbringing could touch him. Sometimes, for many hours, he suddenly wanders between lobbies and rooms to inspect patients exactly as they are Al doctors and nurses !.

As Oscar completed his first year at the clinic, the staff noticed a strange behavior that suddenly changed his behavior and made him distinct from other cats in the clinic. Oscar, as mentioned above, was not courting human beings and trying as much as possible to get away from them, and of course would not be satisfied by sitting next to patients in their beds no matter how they tried to woo him. But his innate aversion to humans did not apply to dying patients. Wherever there was a patient dying inside the third floor, Oscar suddenly appeared to rise to the bed of that patient and lay beside him in the amazement of everyone, he was sitting quietly, putting his head on the patient's body as if he were pleased and consoled, and that The soul leaves that patient's body until Oscar rises from his place and leaves the bed immediately as if he realized that his companion was dead. Often the time between Oscar's appearance and the patient's death did not exceed two hours.

Sitting next to them until they die ..
At first, none of the doctors and staff at the clinic believed that Oscar could really sense and predict the death of human beings. This is, of course, impossible. ..
No .. The ancient Pharaohs say no !! Those great philosophers and spiritualists believed that cats were a living embodiment of the spirit of the gods. They believed that they could see and hear what we did not see and hear.
But the doctors at Steer's clinic would not, of course, believe what the Pharaohs were saying. The only logical explanation that seemed convincing to them was that the coincidence of Oscar's appearance with the death of patients was a coincidence.
But Oscar's coincidence has become more and more frequent every day, increasing the confusion and astonishment of everyone.
One time, an old inmate in the clinic had a blood clot in her leg, she was in a coma, and her leg was stiff and cold because blood did not reach her, but doctors did not expect her death soon, or so they thought until Oscar suddenly appeared and went to bed, sat at Her injured leg surrounded her with soft fur, as if trying to warm her. After nearly two hours, he got up and left quietly. The old man was dead.
Once again, Oscar went into a patient's room, went up in bed and then sat as usual, quietly next to the old patient who was asleep, but the patient's family did not like Oscar's presence. They feared that he would worry about their patient's rest and asked to get him out of the room. . But what happened afterwards stunned everyone, the stubborn cat did not go away, began to water with a crying sound, and started knocking on the door and scratching his claws as if he were asking for the ear to enter, and as soon as they opened the door again until he ran and jumped back to the sick old man who died in the next two hours . This time, too, doctors did not expect that patient to die.
The debate over Oscar's abilities is growing day after day inside the sanatorium. The team believed in his abilities, the team rejected it categorically. In the end, both teams decided to take Oscar to a test of uncertainty.

The debate over Oscar's abilities is growing day after day inside the sanatorium. The team believed in his abilities, the team rejected it categorically. In the end, both teams decided to take Oscar to a test of uncertainty.
There was an old patient dying in one of the rooms on the third floor, and they were expected to die within less than an hour, so they brought Oscar to that patient's room and sat him in his bed. If Oscar leaves bed and leaves before the patient dies, it means that he has no ability to predict death and that the whole thing is nothing more than a coincidence.
Amid the delight of the skeptics and the disappointment of the faithful, everyone watched Oscar leave the bed a few moments after he was put in.
But the happiness of the skeptics did not last long. On the contrary, the dying old man did not die within an hour, as the doctors had predicted, but surprised everyone and clung to life for another ten hours. Shortly before his death, Oscar reappeared, this time on his own, ascending the old man's bed gracefully and sitting next to him quietly as he does each time. Oscar has outperformed doctors and their sophisticated equipment to predict when the patient will die.
Over the next two years, Oscars predicted the death of 25 patients. No one doubted his abilities, but the staff at the clinic were watching his inspection rounds with great interest, and sitting next to a patient was a milestone that death would surround that patient soon. Hospital staff were quick to call the patient's family, asking them to come immediately because their patient would die within a few hours.
The article that made Oscar famous ..
Despite Oscar's fame at the sanatorium, the world did not hear his talent and abilities until 2007 when Dr. David Doza wrote an extensive article in NEJM Medical Journal, one of the oldest and most prestigious medical journals in the United States. Since then, Oscar has become the focus of attention of the press and the people.
Staff at the clinic thought that Oscar's fame and reputation would anger the families of the patients and denounce their presence near their patients. His presence alleviates the pain of dying and the recent removal. Oscar predicted another 50 deaths as of 2010, according to the website of Steer's clinic.
Scientific explanations
Of course, scientists would not have believed in superstition, nor would they ever have accepted the explanation that cats have a great ability to detect and identify the movement of invisible ethereal energies and halos, that is, what people know in the name of spirit, jinn and ghost. But scientists believe that animals already have superb abilities that humans do not possess - certainly not metaphysical and metacognitive abilities, but sensory sensory abilities. Two are no different in that the senses of animals are many times stronger than ours, especially the olfactory and hearing senses, so the more rational explanation of Oscar's supernatural abilities focuses on the sense of smell in cats. Dying cells begin to release certain enzymes and chemicals into the human body shortly before death in order to prepare the body for decomposition after death. His death. By capturing that smell, he can tell and determine when patients will die.
"Perhaps he can recognize a specific odor associated with death," says Dr. Doza, commenting on Oscar's abilities. That's exactly what Professor Joan Tino, a professor of health, thinks. "I think that certain chemicals are released into the body when dying, and Oscar can smell and recognize the smell of those substances," she says.
"I think it smells certain chemicals that are released into the body before death," said Margie Scrike, an animal behaviorist at the University of British Columbia.
Another view on Oscar put forward by another animal behaviorologist is Dr. Daniel Estep: “One of the distinctive things about people who are about to die is that they don't move much, and Oscar may have picked up this fact that dying people are very Stillness and quietness. I think it's not about the smell or the sounds from the patient, but it's about movement. ”
Dr. Thomas Graves, a feline specialist at the University of Illinois, told the BBC about cats' abilities: “Cats can often feel and feel sick, even other animals. It can sense the change of atmosphere, and is also famous for its great ability to predict earthquakes. ”
Sensitive creatures .. but ..
In addition to the opinions of scientists and doctors about the delicate senses of cats, cat breeders around the world are certain that their cats are the most unique and distinctive of all animals in terms of sensation, feelings and behavior.
But all this does not explain unfortunately the talent and ability of Oscar wonderful .. Why? ..
Simply because Oscar does not live alone on the third floor of the Steer Clinic, there are six other cats living on that floor. If it is about the smell, why did the other cats not show any abilities similar to those shown by Oscar?
Even if we assume that it is a matter of smell, what drives the cat to the dying family and sit next to them .. Does he see something that we humans do not see? .. Is he understood and aware of the idea of death ?! .. Is the entertainment and relief of patients About dying patients ?.
Remember, dear reader that we are talking here about patients with dementia, that is, they do not realize anything about what is happening around them, what drives the cat Oscar to keep up with them at the hour of death ?! .. What is the meaning of sitting near them .. I personally do not understand that I can not digest the hypothesis that that dull animal is really aware of the death of humans.
