SCP-XXXX is to be allowed full access to Site ██'s social, recreational, and living areas. Three (3) activity periods of no less than 15 minutes are to be scheduled every 24 hours lead by either Foundation volunteers or Class D personnel who have been screened for allergies, phobias, and a history of violence against animals.
While SCP-XXXX usually sleeps in its containment unit, it may choose to sleep in the living quarters of Foundation personnel. Cat doors will be installed on all doors of personnel who do not suffer from cat allergies. Personnel must permit SCP-XXXX into their quarters. Failure to do so will be punished by demotion, dock in pay, or transfer. Attempts to harm SCP-XXXX is cause for immediate termination.
SCP-XXXX is scheduled for yearly visits with Foundation veterinarians. Should personnel believe that SCP-XXXX is suffering from health problems, a Foundation veterinarian must be contacted immediately.
SCP-XXXX is forbidden from going outside. Non-lethal forms of capture are authorized including the use of tranquilizer darts.
Foundation personnel must refer to/address SCP-XXXX by the name "Waffles."
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a male, adult domestic short-haired cat (Felis catus) of indeterminate age. The subject is slightly larger than average at 6.44 kg and has a brown and white coat of fur in a mackerel tabby pattern. It wears a pink color with a nametag engraved with "Waffles." Foundation veterinarians and researchers determined that the subject is up to date with necessary shots, has been orchidectomized, and suffers from a minor case of crystalluria. SCP-XXXX is microchipped and has been fitted with an internal GPS tracker.
SCP-XXX was formerly a resident of the ████████Hospice of Northern ██████████ before its closure in 20██ upon which it was taken into Foundation custody. SCP-XXXX was beloved by both staff and residents of the hospice as the cat would often sleep on top of residents who were within 48 hours of terminus. The hospice staff believed SCP-XXXX brough comfort to the patients.
SCP-XXXX's is believed to be anomalous as it had an extremely high (93.7%) rate of accuracy forecast the impending death of a resident. Although SCP-XXXX did not sleep with every resident who died, it had zero (0) false-positives. Staff members also related an anecdote in which SCP-XXXX slept on a nurse who was napping while on break. 5 hours later, the nurse was involved in a collision with a drunk driver and was killed instantly.
After transfer to Site ██, anecdotal evidence lead to the possibility that SCP-XXXX was not predicting death but actually causing it. In the following four weeks after containment (before its conditions were upgraded to fit the present protocol) The mortality rate at Site ██ rose a small but statistically significant █% at a rate of an average of ██ deaths per seven day period from a baseline average of █ deaths per every seven days. Causes of fatalities including both the expected hazards of dealing with dangerous and anomalous people/things/animals/unknown as well as deaths caused by accidents, disease, and equipment malfunction. Investigations discovered that no fatality that could not be accounted for, each having a logical and understandable cause.
After four weeks of containment, site veterinarian Dr. Crane proposed improving SCP-XXXX's living conditions. The generic cat food was replaced with a popular brand of wet food. The mortality during the following four week period dropped .█% Project lead Dr. ████ authorized more improvements, each showing a decrease in monthly mortality between .██ % and █.██% As of the most recent changes to the containment protocol, the mortality rate for the site has dropped to levels slightly above the original baseline at ██ per seven day period.
Researchers thus far are unable to determine if deaths related to SCP-XXXX's are causal, correlative, or simply coincidence. The data shows a weak but significantly significant probability negating coincidence (p=.048.)
As of ██/██/20██, SCP-XXXX has demonstrated a predictive accuracy of 75.3%*, with zero false positives. The vast majority of victims have been D-Class volunteers. Mean time to death (MTTD) is 683.33 minutes with a minimum of 2.5 minutes and a maximum of 3999.99 minutes. (MTTD is measured from the time SCP-XXXX is no longer in contact with the human up until expiration.)
Individuals who discovered that they have been chosen by SCP-XXXX may request immediate termination.
*SCP-XXXX chooses no more than one person in any 24 hour period and thus cannot account for multiple fatalities on the same day.
