Cat scan saves diabetic girl.
A black and white rescue tabby
cat called Pippa has performed a
series of small miracles by alerting
the owners when diabetic Mia
Jansa, 8, is about to suffer an
hypoglycaemic episode.
The UK Whitstable family
adopted the cat from the RSPCA
in August last year and since then
the cat, according to BBC News,
has saved Mia’s life about 20
times.
The cat’s acute sense of smell
can detect when Mia’s sugar

embarrassing,” Associated Press
reported.
Dispatchers who picked up the
call could only hear the sounds
of breathing and scratching and
said it was the first time a dog had
called the centre, AP reported.

Youtube, Reuters reported.
