Oscar The Grim Reaper Cat
My dad was an administrator of a nursing home for about 20 years. His first care center was in Roseburg and I spent a lot of time making the rounds with him and talking to his residents. When I heard this story, it moved me because I know there are elderly people who are left to die by their families. The thought of their final hours being spent with an animal cuddling and nurturing them makes me want to bawl.

Bruce told me about that--amazing story. When my mom died I was lying next to her with my sisters on the bed as well. It was such a good decision to stay at home in her king-sized bed.
wow.
I also love it that the nursing home allowed the cat there in the first place. what a great way to keep the residents alert and entertained.
Since I will never have kids, dying without a family beside me is a very real possibility. I hope very much that there's an Oscar around when that time comes.
