Oscar, the Supernatural Cat that Predicts Death

Every cat owner knows how cats can comfort you after a bad day. When you get home completely washed out, they jump in your lap and force you to caress them. As you pet your furry friend, you can feel how your tension fading away. But not all cats are like that. Some do not fancy human company as much, and Oscar is one of them. He used to live at the third floor of Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, United States of America.

What’s so special about this cat that we include it in our Feng Shui Site?

Well, since Oscar was adopted by the hospital staff members as a kitten in 2005, Oscar managed to predict deaths of more than a hundred patients in the nursing home’s advanced dementia unit. Oscar is not a very sociable cat, but its presence next to a patient indicates impending doom. Doctors even tested his ability by putting Oscar next to a presumed soon-to-be-death patient. He jumped off the bed and went straight across the hall to an elderly man, who passed away in the next two hours. The death-sensing cat experienced a severe allergic reaction in 2013 itself, but Oscar managed to recover.

Oscar rose to fame in 2007 when a Medical Specialist, Dr. David Dosa published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine. The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is a weekly medical journal published by the Massachusetts Medical Society. It is among the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals as well as the oldest continuously published one in United States, and perhaps the world. The facts’ surrounding Oscar’s ability is astounding.

After Oscar had been at Steere House for around six months, staff noticed that Oscar often chose to nap next to residents who died within several hours of his arrival. It seemed to staff as if Oscar were trying to comfort and provide company to people as they died. Joan Teno, a physician at Steere House, clarified that it’s not that the cat is consistently there first. But the cat always does manage to make an appearance, and it always seems to be in the last two hours.

After Oscar accurately predicted 25 deaths, staff started calling family members of residents as soon as they discovered him sleeping next to someone in order to notify them and give them an opportunity to say goodbye before the impending death. As of 2018, Oscar has accurately predicted more than 100 deaths.

There is no scientific and logical explanation of Oscar’s ability. Some forecasted that Oscar may have the ability to see things, while some scientists believe that he is simply responding to a pheromone or a scent where a person is about to die. However, the latter seemed to not be the cause as the patients who died all had different causes and the hypothesis of scent was rejected. Even though it is a creepy gift, families are usually glad that Oscar is around. He cuddles next to soon to be gone souls and makes their last journey a bit more pleasant. He also offers huge support to family members, as they can spend the last hours with their loved one. The death-sensing cat is getting old itself, but his rounds and contribution to patients and their loved ones will never be forgotten.

In one of our Feng Shui cases experience, a client of ours’ grandmother was 90 years old and frequently dreamt of black figures waiting at her bedside. According to her, they seemed to be waiting and “inviting” her to some place. However, after wearing our amulets and prayers, she had the same dream, the only difference is that she saw monks in orange robes came, and these monks battered the black figures with sticks that they ran away. She told us that she never had any more dreams after that and that she slept soundly. She lived for another half a decade before succumbing to old age peacefully at 98 years old. Our client told us that his grandmother’s prolonged life is a miracle as at that time of her dream, she was having old age sickness and most likely is going to die while having the nightmares. The prayers and amulets seemed to have helped her to prolong her life. If it weren’t for the prayers and powerful amulets, the nightmares may have taken her during sleep.

People will age and eventually pass away. This is one of the four noble truths in life. It is not a matter of how long one lives, but how to live our lives to the fullest. Those who are aware of such supernatural and wisdom that live orchestrates will do more good deeds, pray and utilize both Feng Shui and religion to live a fulfilling life of peace, harmony, longevity and happiness.

奥斯卡 预知死亡的猫

 爱猫一族都知道,当你很疲惫和烦躁回到家中时，爱猫会跳上你的怀中，在你拂摸它柔软的毛时，你会发现你的心情开始平伏。但是，并不是所有的猫都喜欢与人类为伍的，一只曾经住在美国一间医院（Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence），名为奥斯卡的猫就是很好的例子。

这只猫能够登上我们的风水年刊，它到底有什么特别之处呢？

2005年，仍是一只小猫咪的奥斯卡就被医护人员收养了，在这期间，奥斯卡竟然能预测到病人的死亡。奥斯卡不是一只善解人意的猫，但若它出现在某位病人旁边，则是死神来的的先兆。医生曾经做过一个试验，他将奥斯卡带到一位病险病人床边，但是，奥斯卡却跳下床，跑到了大厅一位老人旁边。两个小时后，大厅那位老人竟然去世了。

2007年，美国普罗维登斯市布朗大学医学助教和老人学专家戴维多萨博士在《新英格兰医学杂志》上首次披露了这只「奇猫」的本领。

奥斯卡在医院大约六个月后，医护人员发现若奥斯卡在某个床位打盹的话，几个小时内，这位病人就会离世。奥斯卡就好像在陪伴着逝世者走完最后人生最后一段路那样。Joan Teno医生指出，看到奥斯卡的出现，意味着几个小时后这个病患将会离世。

奥斯卡准确预告了25位病人的逝世后，医护人员开始相信奥斯卡的死亡预告，每当看到它逗留在某位床位时，都会多加留意，若为病危者，就会通知家属尽快前来医院见病人最后一面。时至2018年，奥斯卡已准确的作出超过100个的死亡预告。

目前无法确定奥斯卡的行科学为是具有科学意义，还是有什么根据，怀疑它是否闻到什么不同的气味或从照顾它的护士身上，看出什么端倪。虽然奥斯卡的出现令家属害怕，但也幸慰有奥斯卡陪伴家人最后一程。猫终将会老去，但它对逝世者的贡献将会被铭记在心。

在我们的风水实案中，有一位客户的九十岁祖母时常梦到有个黑影站在床边，像是在等着带她去某地。不过，当她佩戴佛牌和祈祷后，她还是作同样的梦，但梦里来了一个身穿橙色僧服的出家人将黑影打跑，之后就没有再作这样的梦了。过了五年，老奶奶终于过世了，享年98岁。那位客户告诉我们，老奶奶能那么长寿也是一个奇迹，因为她很多病痛，随时会一睡一不醒的。如果不是佛牌和祈祷起到效应，她可能很早就被梦魇带了。

人逃不过老和死，人生不在于长短，而在于活着的意义。拥有高智慧或有超自然能力的人都会做很多善事、祈祷；同时也会利用风水和宗教知识来充实生活。
