I've some bad news. Oscar is dead now. I read his dead body was found in that nursery home. People were afraid of Oscar and someone of them decided to murder the animal.

Is that true?

Here's to hoping that Oscar starts haunting the place, give the murdering b*stards a fright or two. Or that the killer in question dies in a horrific cat-related way

I'd put him into a pit in the ground, full of starving wild cats - people who dared to kill a cat in ancient Egipt were killed in that manner. :evil:

The Egyptians got it right. I have two Egyptian cat figures next to my TV. I wish more people understood.

Oscar is even described in Wikipedia. Also in the Polish Internet there are many articles about Oscar who became famous.

That was on a website called the Daily Redundancy who claim "The Standard of Excellence in Pseudojournalism."

It was a fake "joke" news story. That cat is still alive! Oscar is not dead, yet.

Other headlines....

"Promising Breakthrough In Flatulence Research"

then oscar the reaper-cat lives on to shuffle people off this mortal coil, whilst garnering free heat and no doubt stealing grapes as well.

Game on!

It would be annoying to have a cat stare at you like "You're next".
I love cats though. I rescued mine. His name is Sabu.

It's nice to know that article was false :) I've read about Oscar's death on Polish forum for those who like cats. I thought it was true.
