HERO CAT STOPS WOMAN SUFFERING FROM SEIZURE
WITH VID AND PIX
BY SAM PRINGLE
A remarkable cat is being hailed a hero by his owner, for his life-changing role in helping her manage and recover from seizures.
Issy Lewis from Bedford, UK, who experiences seizures, says Bobby’s natural instincts have made a profound difference in her life.
In a particularly touching moment, she recalls how Bobby stayed with her throughout a seizure, refusing to move until it ended.
The 25-year-old said: “He stayed on top of me until the end of the seizure and proceeded to make muffins for around three minutes to wake me up.
“Sometimes he’ll make muffins on my chest after a seizure. I call that his post-ictal CPR.”
Even more remarkably, Bobby appears to sense when a seizure is coming. In the video Issy shared, Bobby can be seen reaching for her chest just before the episode begins.
“You can see him reaching for my chest before the seizure,” she said.
“He slept behind me all night to make sure I don’t sleep on my back. He usually sleeps between my legs but realised how important this night was.
“I didn’t train Bobby to do any of this and have nothing to do with his special talent.
“It’s just something he does.”
