Making the Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat Drama Note: Because this project is categorized as in development, the data is only available on IMDbPro and is subject to change. Dosa starts to pay more attention to the cat's decidedly odd behavior, noticing that Oscar seeks out the dying, snuggles with the patient and family members until the patient passes with others, he smells the patient's feet, sits outside a closed door until admitted, or refuses to leave a dying patient's bed. Slowly, he starts to concede that there may be something special about Oscar. Despite hearing numerous stories about Oscar's uncanny ability to predict when a patient's time is nearing, Dosa, ever the scientist, remains skeptical.

Dosa, a geriatrician with a strong aversion to cats, tells the endearing story of Oscar the cat, the aloof resident at a nursing home who only spends time with people who are about to die.
