Oscar the cat, who was adopted by the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island when he was six months old, has accurately predicted more than 25 deaths. If Oscar hops onto the patient's bed, and snuggles beside the patient, then that patient passes away in the next hour or two. Oscar nearly always appears at the last hour or so. Surprisingly he shows no special interest in the patients who are simply in a poor shape or even in the patients who are dying, but who still have a few days.
Does it make Oscar unique from other cats? Or is this a question for a cat behaviorist?
Informed sources claim that many animals such as dogs or other felines have the ability to sniff out diseases or even detect a natural disaster such as earthquakes and tornados. However, Oscar is definitely an extra ordinary cat, as established by his behavior at the nursing home, for the final care, comfort and companionship he provides to the terminally ill patients.

Question pertaining to being a Cat behaviorist?
I want to know if that is possible, I heard there is already one famous cat behaviorist known as Jackson Galaxy, and I wondered if there is ever room for more?

Admin Answers:
It's possible, but I think only the desperate and ridiculously wealthy would pay for a cat behaviorist for their house cats. You may have more luck going into Zoology and working with big cats.

Would you use the services of a cat behaviorist/cat trainer?
If your cat sprays, doesn't use the litter box, scratches the furniture, is aggressive,fearful,ect. would you hire a cat behaviorist to correct the behavior problem? If so how much would you be willing to pay? $50,$75,$100??? cat's most certainly can be trained. The problem is people think they can train a cat like they would a dog when they are two completely different species.

Admin Answers:
I would. I want to know how to stop my cat from meowing all the time, and also how to deal with what I think is seperation anxiety. I think it's a neat idea. There are so many options to work with dogs, but nothing for cats. So many people think you can't do anything with cats, they're just there, but I don't agree. I don't understand cats, or how they work, really, so it would be nice to get advice. I would pay up to $100, if they could really help with the issues I have.

Cat behaviorist: I've introduced a kitten to my other two old-timers and they don't like him!?
The older cats are brother-sister. The girl cat is really a tough broad, hunts, stays out allllllll day and is very mean (never a scratcher, just lotz of 'tude!) She really has a problem with our new kitten and I find she has taken revenge by PEEING!!! I feel like killing her when she does this, but I know she's telling me something. How to I get her to just accept the addition to the family and quit being so bitchy?

Cats don't adjust well to change in any way. It will take some time for them to accept what is happening. I have 3 cats and each time I got a new one they other (s) would be pretty mad but they all get along now so don't lose hope. It only happens with time and naturally, you can't force them. Be sure to give your others cats lots of love and attention so they don't fell left out! Also be careful if the other cats are mean to the baby don't leave them alone we had to keep my kitten(s) in another room if were weren't home because they weren't big enough to defend themselves from the large cats.

CAT SECTION REGULARS: What is all this business about Housecat Housecall?
I'm talking about the ad that keeps popping up on the side of the page in the pet section. Is it like a cat behaviorist?

Admin Answers:
Well I only began noticing it about a week ago and have never clicked on it! I'm now refreshing my page to try and see the ad again and it hasn't shown up (since the ads are all on rotation here at Yahoo!) but when I do click it, I'll let you know what I think it is. Of course, you could click it too... :P Alright, I finally came upon it again. As the person below me said, it's a new reality tv show for cats. Here is the synopsis: "Each week Dr. Katrina will visit three families and, with the help of the Housecat Housecall™ Mentors Dr. Debra Horwitz and Dr. Stacy Fuchino, she'll try to make some sense out of a wide range of feline puzzlers. Whether it's just a quirky behavior or something more complex, Dr. Katrina and her team work out real solutions that help bring peace, harmony, and well-being back to the homes of cats and owners." So, sounds like you're right-- it's going to be a reality show about cats, their behaviors, and remedies for those behaviors.
