Has anyone here at FR experienced anything like this?

Can you ‘ping’ the kitty list, please?

I’ve never experienced anything like this, but I’ve worked (professionally) around animals for years, and I will say that there is something going on out there that we may never understand.

don't know about cats, but I know a family who has a service dog for their Type 1 dia child. She detects metabolic changes and alerts mom to highs/lows.
Wouldn't be a bit surprised if cats had the ability, as well. (prob just not as readily trained as dogs in a global setting, though :P)

Did it smell ketones on her breath as it was trying to suffocate her? ;)
Keep the cat.

The cat was just doing a CAT Scan.

Perhaps kitty detected ketones in her breath?

It's not that hard to understand. Low blood sugar produces acetone in the breath, an odor easily detectable within the range of animal sensitivities.

I have no idea...and Apollo isn't (and won't be) talking. I dunno, did you try truth serum?
Seriously, I have read some interesting stories about cats, although I've never witnessed any.
There is a cat that lives in a nursing home, who normally is fairly aloof. But when a patient is hours away from death, he becomes very friendly to that patient. When the nursing home staff sees him become friendly, they know to call the patient's family so they can come say good-bye.
I read a story about a little girl who was dying of cancer. One day, she went with her mother out to the barn, and found a dirty bedraggled cat in the barn. The little girl begged to keep him, and the mother acquiesced. Over the next few months, as the little girl lost her strength and could only lie on the sofa all day, the cat was her constant companion. He comforted her when she was in pain and was always there for her. When she died, the cat disappeared, never to be seen again, while the family was attending her funeral.

My brother-in-law (who has Downs’) has a dog that seems to be able to alert the family to an imminent Grand Mal seizure.
I had a cat every bit as attached and affectionate as the one described. He could respond appropriately to moods, but I had no chronic illnesses for him to detect.

I used to call her cat 'Satan'.

66 is not that low.... Her physician has advised her to contact her when her sugar drops below 70. This was in the middle of the night, and she would have spent another four hours in that condition.

LOL! If that particular cat were to kill someone; it would be me...even though I was the one that drove 300 miles round-trip to save his furry *ss from certain doom (along with his brother, who appreciates me.)

...I know a family who has a service dog for their Type 1 diabetic child...The State of Virginia has a program in which specially-trained dogs are given to Type 1 diabetics to alert them when their glucose readings get too low.

Well. THANK YOU for that....I had looked up service dogs before for people with diabetes because my nephew is a Type 1. Guess what...he lives in Charlottesville, VA, which is where this organization has its home base! Again, thank you! (he probably won’t do anything with it, but I’m sure going to send him the link) http://www.servicedogsva.org/index.php/learn/faq/
