52、) next to them during their final hours. His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live. Many family members take some comfort from it. They appreciate the companionship that the c
53、at provides for their dying loved one, said Dosa, a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at Brown University.The 2-year-old cat was adopted as a kitten and grew up in a third-floor dementia (痴呆) unit at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, where the facility treats people with A
54、lzheimers, Parkinsons disease and other illnesses. After about six months, the staff noticed Oscar would make his own rounds, just like the doctors and nurses. Hed smell and observe patients, then sit beside people who would end up dying in a few hours. Dosa said Oscar seems to take his work serious
55、ly. This is not a cat thats friendly to people, he said.Oscar is better at predicting death than the people who work here, said Dr. Joan Teno of Brown University, who treats patients at the nursing home and is an expert on care for the terminally ill. She was convinced of Oscars talent when he made
56、his 13th correct call. While observing one patient, Teno said she noticed the woman wasnt eating, was breathing with difficulty and that her legs had a bluish color, signs that often mean death is near. Oscar wouldnt stay inside the room, though, so Teno thought bis streak was broken. Instead, it tu
57、rned out the doctors prediction was roughly 10 hours too early. Sure enough, during the patients final two hours, nurses told Teno that Oscar joined the woman at her bedside.Doctors say most of the people who get a visit from the sweet-faced, gray-and-white cat are so ill that they probably dont kno
58、w hes there, so patients arent aware hes a predictor of death. Most families are grateful for the advance warning, although one wanted Oscar out of the room while a family member died. When Oscar is put outside, he paces and meows his displeasure.No ones certain if Oscars behavior is scientifically
59、significant or points to a cause. Teno wonders if the cat senses mysterious scents or reads something into the behavior of the nurses who raised him. Nursing home staff arent concerned with explaining Oscar, so long as he gives families a better chance at saying goodbye to the dying. The staff recen
60、tly gave Oscar a wall sign publicly praising his sympathetic care.56. What makes Oscar the cat so special?A. He observes the cases of dying patients. B. He curls up next to the patients. C.
