Cat Kills Patients
As if there were any doubt about the media's bias toward cats, we read this from the Deseret News:
Two or three days before the resident dies, Max will start sleeping at the foot of the sick person's bed and leave only to eat or visit his litter box.
I guarantee you, if -- instead of a cat -- Max were a construction worker, people would be asking questions.

I suspect there is a conflict of interest at work here. I happen to know that several D-News employees happen to own -- that's right -- a cat.
I can see how this could be a form of entertainment in the nursing home.
Every morning, the residents wake up and say "gee, I wonder whose turn it is to die this week. Where's Max been sleeping?"
Then they look around and see that Max has been sleeping at LaBob's bed and they yell "It's been nice knowing you LaBob"
Maybe Max is the cause, not the indicator, of people's deaths.
Since I posted this, I did some background research. The last 4 residents died of heart attacks while chasing "that damn death cat" out of their rooms. (Their words, not mine. Their last words actually).
I think Ted and Jay Leno are on to something: what if these people were simply allergic to cats?
I have another theory. I think Max has class envy, and only drops in on rich people. Also, I've heard that members of the Tribune Editorial Board have lots of cats.
