This is an amazing story....about a cat that , uh, seems to have a job at a hospice, I guess you could say...

Thanks again, Lucy!

I'm not particularly a cat person, but the purring might be just
the right vibes to help relax and loosen the bonds to life.
He'd be welcome at my passing!

Thanks Lucy -
I saw Oscar on TV this morning and he looked like any other big purring furball.

There are dogs that are better at cancer detection than our best clinical methods - and I'd be inclined to think that Oscar is both sensitive, and, as the staff pointed out, a loving creature.

I'll never know - I'm allergic to cat hair. Sorry Oscar.
