Reply to Oscar the Therapy Cat accurately predicted 25 deaths in Providence RI nursing home. by swank401
The article cites Wikipedia as a source for Oscar's death prediction rate (50). Also, article is from 2016.
Also, incredibly sad that he died in February, age 17.

Planting three large trees, one medium tree, "and preserving a large street tree."
