PROVIDENCE, RI (TDR)- Oscar, the nursing home cat who could seemingly sense the impending death of patients, was found dead early yesterday. The cat gained recent notoriety when reports of his ability to detect the impending death of the terminally ill became public. Seemingly aware that death was at hand, Oscar would reportedly climb into the bed of patients during their final hours...

My pleasure. I thought it might not be obvious, since jokes are supposed to be funny.

Cat story.I,some years ago,traded a Pontiac Catalina fully loaded for a 1984 Volvo and ten guitars sight unseen.The car was parked in the driveway when one of my roomates wanted to take it for a Pizza run. I had never driven the car so I said go for it.He came running into the house rattled as when he started the car,all sorts of sounds started emmitting from under the hood.Having no experience with a Volvo,it took us a while to find out how to open the hood,all the while blair witch sounds were coming from under the hood.When we shut the car off,underneath the hood was a black cat.
It had become entangled in the belts of the motor for reasons unknown.We took the cat,which we named cat,into the house for some emergency care.It had only suffered a broken front leg.The cat pshycotherapist was unavailable at the time so we could not do a mental evaluation .We placed it’s paw into a finger splint and adopted it.We always knew when it was roaming as the click,click sound was unmistakable.The cat disappeared one day as I was giving it a bath.Oh,by the way,it also knew how to fly.Strangest thing.

I could not help myself

That dead cat is getting around!

Lol, the one that’s getting around is a “Spring Kitten”!!

I suspect foul play. Poor kitty.

I’ve got the Tom Jones song loaded up!

[potlatch]

What song is that??

“Baby Don’t Spring Me, I’m Catatonic” ?

But the outright hatred some people seem to have for them goes beyond the rational, and really makes me wonder about what kind of personality defect they (the cat haters, not the cats) have.

I think you nailed it. It's like a personal vendetta. If you don't like cats, so don't have one already! But to take every opportunity to say mean and nasty things about them and crack sick jokes? Twisted. I didn't think this was a funny story at all.

[potlatch]

Lol, forgot about this!

[Lady Jag]

ROFLMAO! That’s gross!

[Lady Jag]

Two sphincters and a cat.

[potlatch]

Very true, lol.

[Lady Jag]

I was holding my tongue. Seeing those two together makes me livid remembering how big a part they played in the destruction of values in this country.

[potlatch]

Well, we try to depict them in every manner that points out their evil agendas.

[Lady Jag]

May he be infested by the thousand fleas of a camel before succumbing to Oscar.

[potlatch]

Lol, I almost warned LJ of that one but figured you’d get around to posting it. If she thought the Hillary one was bad, well........snicker.

[toldyou]

“So who killed Oscar?”

Someone with a bedpan. I find that very unusual in a nursing home. ;)

[Lady Jag]

You're right on target, too.
