Cat saves ill owner
The world is celebrating a lot of nontraditional heroes these days, not the least of which is a feisty kitty named Bear. Bear, who was adopted from Lake Humane Society in Mentor. OH, in December 2018, is being credited with saving his owner’s life.
The Humane Society shared the news on its Facebook page May 2, noting that Bear’s adopter, Alan, lives alone and suffers with numerous health conditions.
“(He) was not feeling well last week and thought taking a nap would help him to feel better,” the post says. “But Bear would not have it! Bear knew something was wrong and sprang into action; she jumped on his chest, pawed at him, licked his face and finally succeeded in waking him up!”
Feeling dizzy and not seeing clearly when he awoke, Alan decided to call 911, the account goes. EMTs arrived and found that his blood sugar was over 900.
Alan was rushed to the hospital and admitted. Upon talking with his doctor, he explained that had he stayed asleep he would have died, the post says. He is now feeling better and back at home with Bear.
