I Dub Thee "Harbinger"

If you ever see this cat approaching you, run as fast as you can the other way and hope that it doesn't follow you:

Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours.

Oscar the cat doesn't like to be put out in the hall when a patient is dying.
