Woman Says Cat 'Saved Her Life' After Detecting Cancerous Lump In Her Neck

Source: Huffington Post

A woman has praised her cat for saving her life after it discovered she had cancer.

So, when Tom started tapping her on the back of the neck with his paw, Sue thought something must be wrong – but with him rather than her.

After a vet told Sue there was nothing wrong with Tom and suggested he was trying to tell her something, she decided to investigate – and found a lump in her neck which was later diagnosed as cancerous.

That woman also looks just like my mom and aunt Ginia. I think I'll bookmark this thread.

And I likewise love such ones. A good friend of mine has more than once told me of the time the family dog caught a child's burst appendix. The connection between humans and certain other species is more than amazing.
