It’s uncanny and a bit creepy….but a cat at a nursing home in Rhode Island can seem to be able to sense when death is near.  Oscar the cat has curled up on the beds of 25 residents who soon thereafter shuffled off this mortal coil…bought the farm, if you will…speculations are that Oscar’s superior sense of smell detects changes in the human scent as death approaches.   Or maybe it’s Dr. Kevorkian’s cat…the grim kitty, if you will!

So if you wind up in a nursing home in Rhode Island, you may want to shoo Oscar the cat off your bed…  😉

True Story:  Zoey, a chihuahua in Colorado, saved the life of a 1-year-old baby by getting between the baby and a rattlesnake that had entered the family’s house.  The little dog took the snake’s fangs, saving the baby from the strike…

…and although it was touch-and-go for a while, the chihuahua survived following treatment!

Michael Vick, the Falcons quarterback involved in dog fighting, may face suspension and the loss of his very profitable Nike contract.  Here is something at least that will be understood, and may have a functional impact on this kind of behavior among the rich and famous! 

Why did Vick do it when he already has it all?–Probably the pursuit of the “high” involved, as when people with plenty of money in their pocket shoplift.  We are a thrill-addicted society, one that grows increasingly jaded…

What animal in nature does “olive loaf” come from?  Does it have pimentos extruding from its sides?

And if you washed a sweater from a cloned sheep, would you use the wool or synthetics cycle?

A thief recently robbed a bank with tree branches duct taped to his head!  He did escape, and no one could identify him…

…he was probably headed towards Elm Street!
