Oscar seemed like an ordinary kitten when he was adopted by Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation center in Providence, RI. But the staff and residents at Steere House quickly suspected Oscar had a unique ability. He seemed to be able to predict when someone was going to die. 

Heads up, this episode is more speculative than usual. And it includes a lot of talk of death. Keep that in mind while listening.
