This is the incredible story of Oscar, an otherwise ordinary cat with an almost psychic sensitivity to human beings. As the resident cat of Steere House, an old people's nursing home, he knows before anyone else when people are at the end of their lives. His presence at a patient's bedside is an almost absolute indicator of their impending death, and allows staff members to notify families that the end is near. Oscar is a wonder to the doctors and nurses; he provides companionship to those who would otherwise die alone, and he gives comfort where others have failed.
Dr David Dosa's account of Oscar and his patients is heartfelt, moving, sometimes even funny. Making the Rounds with Oscar allows readers into a world rarely seen from the outside.
