From El Reg… Satanic Sheffield feline hailed as hero:

A Sheffield cat has been hailed as a hero, because it seems to be able to predict its owner’s epileptic fits.

Cat owner Michael Edmonds suffers from complex epilepsy and often has no warning of an impending fit, the BBC reports. However, his cat, which was dumped in a river when it was a kitten (this will be significant later), will sit close to Edmonds and stare at his face just before a fit.

Edmonds’s step daughter nominated the cat for the Cats Protection ‘cat protector of the year’ award. Tee Cee is one of four cats short listed for the title ‘Hero Cat’.

When one of us is sick, our cats do seem to take more of an interest; sleeping on our legs or heads more than usual, for example.
