I can't read it. Not because I hate The Sun, just because their website fails and always seems to be on a constant refresh thing :S.

I'd hate a cat like that, probably give me a heart attack just knowing it was staying close to me. No wonder why it's always right :P

So if no patient is going to die any time soon, what does the cat do? Sit away from the patients?

Finally managed to read about it elsewhere. Pretty amazing, he even has his own wiki page; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_(cat) :)

It'll be interesting if all cases of deaths resulted in an infection or reaction to Oscar, due to some sort of allergic reaction :P Pretty interesting though. I think this may have been reported before a few years ago, the story seems familiar. That, or another animal :/

Yeah his Wiki page (fixed link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_(cat)) says it was first reported a few years back. I was thinking that though, it actually surprises me to know that they considered scientific explanations rather than simply blaming the cat and deeming it a symbol of bad luck lol.

Remember this story back in 07. Anyone considered that maybe the cat is a serial killer.
