My Cat Predicted My Fiance's Cardiac Arrest
I adopted my cat from a shelter 7 years ago. She was a 7 year old Tabby who was given up when her elderly owner entered a nursing home. From the second we met I knew she was my cat. We've spent the last 7 years moving several times. Multiple boyfriends etc.
4 years ago I started dating my fiance and 2 years ago we moved in with him. He was never a cat person. They tolerated each other but, my cat was never overly affectionate with him like she was with me. Well two months ago she started sitting on his chest. Would not get off and would not stop. She often sits on whatever part of my body hurts; my head during migraines, my stomach during cramps etc. 3 days later my fiance had a cardiac arrest in his sleep. I woke up did CPR, called 911 etc. He literally died 3 times that day. After 5 days in a coma and 12 days in the ICU he came home with minimal brain damage and what the doctors call a miracle.
Both of us are convinced my cat was trying to tell us something was wrong with his heart. The day he returned she sat by the window minutes before he arrived and then sat angrily guarding him on the chair. Since they've gone back to tolerating each other but, if she ever insists on sitting on him again we are going straight to the ER.
