  • LOLREAPER!
  • I CAN HAZ UR SOUL?
  • Best quote from the article:
    A doctor who treats patients at the home said she believed there was probably a biochemical explanation, rather than the cat being psychic.
  • She would say that. cos otherwise she would be out of a job.
  • Stupid people, the cat does not know when these people are dying! Why, he's stealing their breath!
  • im in ur nursing home comforting ur dyin loved 1s
  • If I was going to die, I would want the news broken to me in the form of that adorable tabby.
  • I agree TUM, how nice to have such a pretty kitty curl up with you during yr last hours. mmmm deathkitty :)
  • the two-year-old cat has been observed to be correct in 25 cases so far. It's a nursing home. My first thought was, odds are in the cat's favor, no matter whose bed he curls up on.
  • My kitty is curled up on my bed right now :(
  • Hey! It's Kokokokoko! You're not dead yet?
  • Not yet .... bad kitty! G'way!
  • My 18-year old cat Sam always knows when I'm sick. She knows what part of my body hurts, and curls up on it purring. If I have a sore foot, she lays on it. If my stomach is bothering me, she lays down on it. She only weighs 5 pounds, and she's like a little orange warm poultice. If I try to keep her from laying on me, she has a fit. I got her right after a serious car accident, as an hours-old kitten. I bottle fed her, and she sat with me while I recovered. I always thought that was why she's like she is.
  • That's kind of adorable, Lara.
  • What happens to all the eggs? /stuffy editor
  • Heee.
  • I HAZ A BUKKIT U KIKKED IT
  • GramMa FTW!

  • Actually, "Inappropriately Whimsical" would be a much better and more accurate slogan than "The Most Trusted Name in News". I say, go for it.
  • "The grim kitty." It really is kind of insulting, isn't it? It's like they're allergic to accepting anything that's outside an extraordinarily narrow spectrum of what it is to be alive.
  • *bows to the mothninja ZOMBI KAT: I AM ON YER CHEST SUKIN YER BRETH AWAY
  • That's a really interesting cat. I'm surprised they let it hang around. Imagine the panic as it walks down the hall, sniffin for deaths. Lots of closed doors on that hall.
  • MonkeyFilter: The advanced dementia floor.
  • Maybe it's the other way: the pure bliss of having that kitty around puts them at ease to finally accept their fate. Hopefully not that a bad way to go.
  • Like a little kitty angel. Sort of. I can accept that.
  • I had a dream about a week or two ago about an evil cat who was my girlfriend's pet (although she wasn't my girlfriend in the dream) and my dream non-girlfriend's dream daughter was terrified of the evil cat so, on an extended visit from some far off dream location I had to watch it overnight. Turns out the evil cat was on the some dream CNN show I was watching while sitting near it; apparently it was dream wanted for psychically serial killing people in close proximity to it - overnight. I had heard dream rumors about the evil cat earlier, but this dream confirmed it. The dream authorities were baffled as to how to deal with the evil cat because they couldn't decide if it had personhood (stupid dream PETA), "and just how do you try a cat, anyway?" Anyway, right about that time it was pretty late at my dream non-girlfriend's dream house so I was about to tuck in when dream 1950's-style concentric rings of negative psychic energy began emanating from the evil cat's "meow?" face in a vicious visual warble. I thought, "fuck this," and left the room to go have sex with my dream non-girlfriend. Of course, I woke up after foreplay.
  • I wonder if that sort of thing runs in cat families. Of course, he's probably nootered, and his littermates long adopted elsewhere.
  • If dogs can sniff out cancer, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that cats can sniff disease as well, or that some chemical odour is produced by, say, organs shutting down.
  • Well, it's a scientific fact that there's an Old People Smell, so I'm inclined to believe that that can slide into a Old People Dying Smell.
  • Yeah, humans can smell people dying.
  • Tell me more.
  • Scamp, the Schnauser of Doom. What do you call a dog who copycats a cat? Dittodog?
