My cat Lucy started sniffing my lower abdomen several years ago to the point where she would refuse to leave me alone. Some weeks after I had a colonoscopy and after further scans I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. I believe that she was able to smell the tumour in my body. I am currently in remission.

My cat started kneading my right breast. Luckily I was due for an annual visit with my doctor. She had a funny expression on her face when she examined my right breast. So I said what's up? Between you and Twink something must be wrong? And it was. It turned out to be stage 3 breast cancer, fast moving. That was over 10 yrs ago. I had to euthanize Twink 2 yrs ago. She had terminal kidney disease and then the vet found a lump. She was 18 yrs at that time. I had 18 blessed yrs with her and I didn't want her to suffer any more. So if your cat pays attention to something out of the ordinary; you need to pay attention to your cat. LOL

I have a Bengal cat. On Wednesday, before the hurricane really started, my cat was so agitated. He usually is a quiet guy, but on Wednesday he kept meowing and walking around the house. I fed him, checked his litter box, water fountain, everything was fine but he kept meowing and jumping on furniture, things that he didn’t do before. At night, when the hurricane started, Angel (that’s his name) disappeared. I don’t know where he hid,but I couldn’t find him anywhere in the house until next day. He knew what’s coming 😢😢

Some workmen came to my condo and one of them was overly friendly.  I had a bad feeling about the guy.  Anyway, he walks up to my chill dog and goes to pet her, and she growled low and long, making him jump back and leave.  That was the only time in nine years that I saw her do that.  I told her she was a GOOD GIRL and she got a special treat that night.

My cat who never licks me and never meows woke me up by doing so at 5 o'clock in the morning. One half hour later I started feeling strange and disoriented. My husband  took me to the hospital. While in triage I had a stroke. I do not wake up before 8 o'clock so my cat saved my life, also relieved treatment early so less after effects. I could not have feeling on my left side and blind in that eye. It took 4 years to heal now  only lost 15% percent loss thanks to my Sam.

So thankful to have found this channel.  I’m a brand new “cat mom” and still learning the difference of cats vs dogs.  The most interesting I’ve learned so far is that dogs protect us physically while cats are our spiritual protectors.

Not long ago I felt very ill, had trouble concentrating. Thought, am I having a stroke? Didn't call paramedics. My cat stayed right by me for 8 hours when symptoms stopped. A few weeks later paramedics took me to ER due to high blood pressure. Did have a small stroke, affected my eye sight for a few days. Now I'm okay. If this happens again I'll pay attention to my cats behavior ❤❤🐈

Lived in the pacific north west in 2000. My cat acted weird a few days before a big earthquake.  A couple years later, moved to the east coast.  My cat and a friends cat in another state were acting weird.  I jokingly said " maybe we are getting an earthquake ". Well, we did. It wasn't big. But noticeable.  Yes, earthquakes do happen on the east coast. 2011 was our latest one . My current cat is weird all the time. But, if she acts or does something that isn't normal for her, I do pay attention.  She does hide before a tropical storm hits us. And is a great cuddle buddy when I'm sick.

Maxine predicted fibromyalgia attacks and would tell me if my blood sugar was to high or too low. She would comfort me when I was down. I think she wanted to be a nurse.

She was nice to my abusive husband (who quickly became ex-husband) and was telling him his kidneys were not working right. He didn't appreciate her at all. So glad we left the bully. She would lay on my side and guard me from him at night. How I miss her. Cancer took her in 2023.

@Vicki-sq4jw

Years ago I had a cat that absolutely detested my daughter's boyfriend and always made sure she took a chunk out of him before he left, sadly my daughter did not understand and married the bum and wasted 12 years of her life with him before seeing her mistake and divorcing him. Cats do know.

My mother's great ant died when I was a child and she got an old chair. So it was brought to our house and our two cats freeked out. They seem to fear it and wouldn't go near it. I sat on it to show there's nothing to fear, but it didn't work. They just sat there and watched by me as if someone else was sitting there. Gratualy the cats started to warm up and finally very carefully jumping on it. We would often find one them laying there as if someone would be stroking them, looking very happy purring and kneeding. It became their favorite place. I think great ant was a cat person and it was her way to say goodbye 😯 This video said that cats warn you if you're in danger. I have experience of this too. It was near Christmas and our cats were opsessed about the cuppord where my mother kept flours and such. They sat infront of it and meowed. I listened and heard what the cats had heard long ago. My mother put a trap in it and we found out there was a mouse in the cuppord 🐁 Another event comes to my mind too, which happened before we started to see each other. My husband was saved by his mother's malecat. It was summer and he was sitting outside in a chair with Hilu. Suddently a raging big dog came through the hedge. It had rabies or so. Hilu bravely defended my husband and arched it back hissing and looking very fierce. The dog had to back off, no bites or anything 😮 I never got to see the heroic cat and sadly it's no longer with us 😪

My kitty Howie, who adopted me 6 years ago, knows when I am going into an adrenal crisis before my symptoms hit. He was rescued from severe abuse when i met him on an adoption day he was nine years old. He didn't like other cats or humans due to his PTSD. everything changed when he saw me. It was as if he'd been waiting for me. I took him home and loved him through his fear. He's so happy and social, with friends and family. He has saved my life so many times. Even running to get my son when i ignored his warnings in the beginning of him alerting to an adrenal crisis. I have Addison's disease and live on cortisol supplements. We take care of each other. He was beaten so severely he lost vision in his R eye and that tear duct is blocked. When he was rescued they didn't think he would survive. We are all careful to not trigger his PTSD. I will be treating him like the little king he is. What a blessing 😊❤

My cat saved me when I almost died from Covid. She actually woke my husband up bc I couldn’t breathe or talk and then he called the ambulance. I am blessed to be alive . Thank God and my cat of course

@ClaBhmz

I read in a local paper of a cat whose person broke a hip outside on a frosty night.  The poor lady couldn't make it back to her house and wasn't dressed adequately.  Kitty stayed with her all night to keep her warm.  I was so touched by the cat's devotion.

@laurakerschenbaum4079

Our first cat, a rescue named Zetha, could absolutely see and sense things people couldn't.  My mom had recently died of cancer and we had her urn on the mantle.  Zetha sat in front of the mantle for TWO DAYS just staring at it!  She wasn't obsessed though--she'd break for food only to immediately return to the mantle.  She sat at attention as if my mom was talking to her, occasionally chortling in response.  We checked the area and couldn't see or hear anything unusual.  I got to the point where I 'spoke' to my mom, 'if you're there, I love you" sort of thing.   It was probably coincidence, but shortly after I acknowledged my mom, Zetha broke her vigil and came back to her normal routines.  Zetha always LOVED my mom, and when she visited, wouldn't leave her alone.  Once, she even snuggled into my mom's purse before we went shopping!  The problem was my mom had always been severely allergic to cats, so she couldn't directly touch her, but that didn't matter to Zetha.  She loved my mom's New York accent and when Zetha heard my mom (even over the phone), she'd meow and behave like she was talking to her, responding to what my mom was saying--it was adorable and spooky.  I truly miss them both!

I have type1 diabetes and whenever my blood sugar became really low my cat would come and pester me until I got myself something sweet, at first I didn't pay any attention but he saved my life on several occasions. He was a precious little fluff ball and it broke my heart when he passed.

@freshspiritworks4535

I have a hematoma on my upper thigh after heart procedure and for two weeks straight she would lay on it for 90 mins - two hours, then move to her favorite chair and slept for another 3 hours. A few days later, my entire thigh 'dropped' and it was much smaller. They are amazing.

Two years ago I was busy cooking and doing house work.  I had placed a kettle on low in order to make bone broth and went down stairs for a minute to throw a load in the washer..ended up cleaning the litter pan, folding a load from the dryer and began cleaning the bath…all of a sudden Lillie, my very shy Bengal went nuts….meowing and running all over…something she had NEVER done…before or since……I couldn’t figure out why until I followed her back up stairs…the entire first floor was full of blinding smoke.  Another minute and the entire house would have been in flames.  She saved my life and my home.

@PropagandasaurusRex

That story with the gas happened to me once too. My cat woke me up for it in the middle of the night while I was sleeping two stairs up.
Same with a smouldering, not yet burning waste bin in my kitchen. In both cases I would never have woken up in time by myself.

@marcchaffee7751

I think cats are way better than most people .  I have about eight and a half cats , love them all .
