pbase Oscar the NH Cat Jan 2008 DSC_2783.jpg

The choice..

Spent some time yesterday on the dementia unit - where I got the Oscar update and did
my usual "catarazi" - he is so used to cameras that he hardly notices anyone taking pictures.
The Discovery Channel was filming a story about Oscar last week.

So, there was two simultaneous deaths on the dementia unit - at opposite end of the hall.
Oscar choose the death where he was needed the most..

Nikon D300
1/40s f/3.2 at 40.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I really wish Oscar was out of a job...but that's wishful thinking. He has intelligence in those eyes..he's remarkable

Sweet, darling cat.

he looks very cosy. Is his instinct still infallible?

I saw Oscar on America On Line, listed as one of the top stories of 2007.

Beautiful capture of this amazing cat. The nursing home I worked at had two cats but they didn't have this affinity for comforting those who were going to pass. They just went where they got the most handouts. Thanks for keeping us updated.
