How is this for amazing? At least one cat is credited for saving her human companion’s life by detecting cancer. The black and white kitty, named Fidge, kept jumping onto owner Wendy Humphreys’ chest every night while she sat on the sofa.

When Wendy went to the doctor, a pea-sized lump was found, which she was told would have eventually killed her. In an interview with The Daily Mail, Wendy said “[Fidge] saved my life, definitely. No hesitation at all. I was told that if I hadn’t been diagnosed when I was I could have died because of the hormones in the menopause.”
