Paging Dr... Katz?

By Rose Stricker ( Contact )   April 12, 2010

I visited my sick sister over spring break. After only two chemo treatments, she tells me her tumors are already shrinking. This is fabulous news!

I suggested it's because she has a medicinal cat.

That's right. Her cat has healing powers.

One afternoon as my sister laid down for a nap, her cat climbed up onto the couch with her. Of all places, the cat settled on my sister's stomach over her liver. And then, the cat stretched out one paw and layed it over my sister's chemo port near her left shoulder. This cat had never cuddled this way before.

How did it know?

And now I read that another Tennessee woman has a cancer-detecting cat!

When I tell stories like these to folks, they have stories about their insightful pets as well.

Do you have a story about medicinal pet? Please share!

that is too cool Rose. I too have read and seen stories like this on TV. Including ones about dogs that can detect when their owner is about to have an epileptic seizure. Don't every let me hear the phrase "dumb animals" again. :o)
[unless we're talking about our dog Payton... cute and loveable, but sometimes as dumb as a rock... just like his "daddy"]
