The book centers on Oscar, a cat at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, whose repeated habit of lying beside patients shortly before their deaths drew attention from staff, families, and the medical community. Dosa uses this unusual phenomenon as a starting point for a broader discussion of dementia care, end-of-life decision-making, and the emotional realities of nursing home work. Rather than offering a strict scientific proof of Oscar’s abilities, the book blends observation, medical context, and personal narrative to explore why his presence mattered so deeply to the people around him. It is both a case study in compassionate care and a reflection on how animals can shape the experience of dying.
