Original Note:
The post says that the cat accurately predicted 100 deaths but it is only “believed” to have done that with no attributable primary source. Secondary source - https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/miracle-cat-predicts-deaths-100-5365056. The New England Journal of Medicine article is a “perspective essay” and not a peer reviewed study - https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmp078108, https://www.researchgate.net/profile/David-Dosa/publication/6185444_A_Day_in_the_Life_of_Oscar_the_Cat/links/00b4952668a7c2d1c4000000/A-Day-in-the-Life-of-Oscar-the-Cat.pdf
