Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hi , Sorry to butt in, but she sounds like an amazing cat, and you are very lucky to have her................did you teach her to do it, or is she very much in tune with your body? Hugs sue n xx -- FW: Non traditional service animals. , I know that this sounds strange, but I have a service Cat. she is not your traditional service animal. She's a Siamese and goes nuts every time my blood sugar drops. I have had her for the past seven years and she will scream so loud it will wake my mother in the next room at night when my blood sugar drops too low that I have a problem waking up.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 There are more Service Cats 'out there' than you seem to be aware. I have a friend who has one along with her Service Dog. They both help her in different ways. The Service Cat alerts, as does yours, to chemical issues. Can you train for alerts? We haven't figured out how (I am the one on this list who also uses a Service Animal and trains them for others) animals ALERT although we can train them to respond as yours does too. If you'd like to contact me off list feel free to do so. How old is your Service Cat? There is a good possibility that she/he can train a kitten when the time is right to do as she/he does for you. We have seen how one animal will clue another animal in to what they do even though we as humans can't. And, for your and everyone's information, the Americans With Disabilities Act 1990 uses the term Service Animal which is interpretted as any animal that mitigates a person's disabilities as long as the person meets the ADA1990 definition of disabled and the Service Animal meets the ADA1990 definition of a Service Animal.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 , This is so remarkable. I'm always amazed by animals and their abilities. Those who sense blood sugars, seizures, and the like are especially intereting, as it seems you can't teach these things, but you can develop their natural abilities.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 i have an amazing cat which i inherited from my parents... they both got cancer and died within 9 months of each other. the cat, gray, was always a very loving cat, but suddenly she stopped going to my mom...soon after that mom was diagnosed with cancer. after my mom passed, my dad's prostate cancer came back and gray would not go to him. i never understood why she avoided my parents until i read that some animals can detect cancer in humans... since i inherited gray, she has been howling like a banshee...its so loud it wakes me up in the middle of the night... the howling started about the time i was diagnosed with t2... i just presumed she missed my mom and dad and was frustrated... now i wonder... --- sbr@...> wrote: > I've missed something.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 When your cat howls, you might check your BS# and see what it is. If your cat IS alerting then your glucometer will tell you. If so, reward her with what ever is her favorite thing. That might encourage her to tell you when your BS# drops. All you can do is try and see what happens.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 My little kitty loves attention. I think that the way she became sensitive to my blood sugar fluctuations was when I did have a blood sugar go south (drop at night) I would get up eat something and then hold and pet her until the shaking and trembling went away. She was very comforting especially when I was living alone. I guess she put 2 and 2 together and figured out that if my blood sugar went south she would get a lot of special attention. and she still does. There just isn't anything as comforting as a soft furry baby purring in your lap when you feel like you are going to come out of your skin. She is my hero! _____ From: diabetes [mailto:diabetes ] On Behalf Of HELPERDOGS Sent: Monday, July 03, 2006 7:02 PM To: diabetes Subject: Re: FW: Non traditional service animals.
