'Purrlock Holmes' alerts owner to body in nearby stream

http://now.msn.com/purrlock-holmes-cat-finds-body-in-stream

Cats are clever (we all know that), but a Bengal named Oscar is even more intuitive than most. Oscar's owner, John Knight of Didcot, England, says that, after recently returning from a night on the prowl, Oscar began behaving oddly, pacing up and down and "making strange noises." Oscar then led Knight to a nearby stream, where the 43-year-old factory worker found the body of a man later identified as John Bellamy, a 75-year-old retiree who'd disappeared on his way home from the local pub. A police investigation determined Bellamy had had a heart attack and drowned. Oscar's sleuthing has earned him a new nickname in the British tabs: "Purrlock Holmes."
