OK. So, for the last day or so, it seems I can’t turn on CNN without seeing the “human interest” story about the cat that goes and sits on the beds of patients in a nursing home who are very near death.
Then, they go on and on about how accurate the cat is — capsule summary: If you’re a patient in this nursing home, and this cat comes to sit with you, make sure your will is up to date. And speculation about how the cat does it — is he smelling something? Maybe a change in mood or behavior? Maybe he’s picking something up from the nurses because the patient’s condition is deteriorating?
Then, near the end they speculate about why Oscar might do this. “Cats are social animals; they evolved with us.” “To him, everyone in than nursing home is part of his family”, etc.
No. There’s exactly one reason Oscar is going in there to sleep with them. He wants to eat their souls, which ( we all know ) exit through our noses at the moment of death.
I mean, my cat would eat my soul if he could find it.
