Love how the feline learned the classic aloof medical personna, and how well it fits a cat. And how it really wants to work, etc.

"Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work seriously and is generally aloof. "This is not a cat that's friendly to people," he said."

Not friendly to LIVING people, more like...

Maybe Oscar is a reincarnated gerontophiliac who can't give up old habits and who is looking for a vacant body to trasfer his soul into.

I like the fact that he was raised by nurses and behaves lik

Thought I was sticking up for the much maligned feline, a condition for which I wear no haloes, but you guys are hilarious! I felt a little bit o' guilt for offending cat lovers when i got such a thrill out of that soaked cat in Robert's TV SIC-COM Washer Follies. Remember the furious wet pussy in the corner on the very bad linoleum?

But I do like Oscar and feel a great affinity; must be the teacher coming out in me--better the teacher than the crazy gay washeroholic!!!!!!!!!! ;D ; D ;D

On the bright side to this story is the fact that the cat lives in the dimentia ward. Therefore, most of the people that this happens to don't even realize what's happening (and I don't mean that in a bad way). Also, the news has been saying that the family of the patients that the cat has "visited" have been in some way comforted by this, knowing that the animal has provided some comfort to their loved one during their last few hours on earth, and has even provided some comfort to those who don't have family, meaning they didn't die alone.

I'm with you Brent. I sleep with anywhere from 4 to 9 cats and I am still kicking. There is more of a chance of one of THEM dying if I roll over on them...
