"Note: Since he was adopted by staff members as a kitten, Oscar the Cat has had an uncanny ability to predict when residents are about to die. Thus far, he has presided over the deaths of more than 25 residents on the third floor of Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island. 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. Oscar has also provided companionship to those who would otherwise have died alone. For his work, he is highly regarded by the physicians and staff at Steere House and by the families of the residents whom he serves."

 Þetta 'næstum því' er dálítið athugavert.  Hefur hann bara einu sinni haft rangt fyrir sér?  10 sinnum?  100 sinnum?  Hefur hann bara lagst upp í 26 manns, og þar af lifði einn af?  200?  Ég á mjög bágt með að trúa því að á tveimur árum hann hafi bara lagst upp í hjá fólki sem dó.  Miðað við lýsingar hefur hann lagst upp í hjá allmörgu mismunandi fólki á hverjum degi, og þar af 25 dáið.
