A day in the life of Oscar. It has been firing vortical hot towers all day, trying to wrap up a tight core. If these VHTs become stable we might see a period of fast intensification. They are burst-y in nature, so it becoming more organised is a coinflip.
Oscar foi um gato especial (2004-2022), que viveu num centro de enfermagem e reabilitação (USA).
O Geriatra David Dosa contou a saga desse gato num livro e num artigo científico.

Oscar the cat “presided over the deaths of more than 25 residents” at a Rhode Island nursing home. His presence was “an almost absolute indicator of impending death.” Featured in a 2007 @NEJM article, Oscar lived another 15+ yrs following the publication.

@Medic_Russell @hansmollman @drphiliplee1 https://t.co/PFFucSVVUn [obvious NEJM article] Apparently, Oscar is a miserable arsehole to work with, hates his colleagues though nice to patients and families. Walks round like he owns the place. Expects windows and doors to be opened for him.

@mkibbe If it is in a medical journal (with such a high impact factor like NEJM) it must be right. Like this 2007 paper they published about a cat who predicts deaths https://t.co/I3N7b8YuaV Very scientific
