Before a difficult surgery, the man asked for a few minutes to say goodbye to his cat: but suddenly the cat arched her back, hissed, and began scratching her owner 

They say cats can always sense the pain and illnesses of their owners. This story proves it.

In the intensive care unit lay an elderly man. He had already spent a month in the ward, and during all that time not a single relative came to visit him. His only friend and comfort was his cat.

At first, the nurses were surprised, but then they got used to it: every day she sat beside him, as if she knew exactly where it hurt. Very often, the cat would curl up on his stomach, since the man had serious gastrointestinal problems.

The animal quickly became the favorite of the entire staff. The doctors fed her, and the patients smiled when they saw this touching friendship.

Finally, the day of surgery arrived. The patient understood: everything would be decided today — either he would survive, or he would never wake up again. Before being taken away, he asked for a few minutes to say goodbye to his cat. He held her close, and as always, she lay down on his stomach. But suddenly, her behavior changed drastically. The cat arched her back, hissed, and started scratching her owner, staring fiercely at his hands.

At first, the doctors thought the animal was frightened. But one of the nurses noticed something, and suddenly the reason for the cat’s strange behavior became clear  To be continued in the first comment 

In the place where the cat kept staring, the patient’s hand had begun to turn blue. The anesthesiologist was urgently called, and it turned out the man had developed a blood clot that could break loose at any moment.

If they had started the surgery in that condition — it would have been a fatal mistake.

The cat saved her owner. Thanks to her strange and alarming behavior, the doctors changed their plan in time: they first removed the dangerous clot, and only then proceeded with the main surgery.

After this case, the medical staff began to treat their furry “colleague” with even greater respect. After all, she was the first to sense what even the most advanced machines could not detect.
