Was bored at work and decieded to look at the people magazine and saw an article of a cat that saved an a family member from a diabetic coma.

Made me think of the cat I had when I slept that kept waking me up by poucing on me when I was trying to sleep. It was discovered Tigger wasn't being a pain but had noticed I wasn't breathing and found that I had sever sleep apnea.

This is a remarkable story. Thanks for the pics.

I wish they would have specified the type of injection her son gave her. Would hate to have someone injecting insulin into someone who is already low, thinking that they are helping.

What a beautiful cat ! And so useful too ! I had heard of cats saving families from fires in the house, but never a Diabetic coma.
