The Story:
In early 2014, Angela Tinning noticed strange behavior from her cat Missy (nicknamed Fidge). The cat repeatedly pawed at Angela’s chest and growled when she tried to push her away. Concerned, Angela visited her doctor — and was shocked to learn she had early-stage breast cancer.
Doctors removed the cancer before it could spread. Angela believes Fidge sensed something was wrong and led her to seek medical help just in time.
Even more incredible, Fidge repeated this life-saving behavior a second time years later when Angela’s cancer returned. Again, the cat's behavior prompted early testing and successful treatment.
Angela has called Missy her furry guardian angel — and many believe cats have an instinctive ability to detect changes in their human’s health.
