Synopsis

Adopted at a nursing home when he was a kitten, Oscar has the uncanny ability to sense when people are about to die. His presence at the bedside is considered a blessing because it allows staff members to notify families that the end is near and because he provides companionship to those who would otherwise have died alone.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A remarkable cat. A life-changing story.

Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat is the story of a doctor who, at first, doesn't always listen; of the patients he serves; of their caregivers; and, most importantly, of a cat who teaches by example, embracing moments of life that so many of us shy away from.
