📍 Location: Wisconsin, USA
📅 Date: February 2012
🌟 The Story:
A woman named Amy Jung and her son visited an animal shelter in Wisconsin just to “look around.” But she immediately connected with a large orange-and-white cat named Pudding, who had been at the shelter for weeks. That very night, they adopted him and took him home.
Later that evening, Amy — a lifelong type 1 diabetic — went to bed. In the middle of the night, she began to suffer a diabetic seizure in her sleep. Her blood sugar had dropped dangerously low.
That’s when Pudding leaped into action.
He jumped onto Amy’s chest, meowing loudly and pawing at her face until she briefly woke up. But she quickly lost consciousness again. Pudding then ran into her son’s room, woke him up, and led him to Amy — just in time to call for emergency help.
🏥 What Happened Next:
Doctors said that without Pudding's quick action, Amy might not have survived.
She officially registered Pudding as a therapy cat for her medical needs.
The shelter where she adopted him received a surge in visitors and adoptions.
🐾 Moral of the Story:
Pudding had only been in Amy’s home for a few hours — and yet, his instincts saved her life. His loyalty and awareness showed that cats can sense health changes just like trained service animals.
