Cats Protection's Rescue Cat Awards 2008, sponsored by Purina PetCare are celebrating stories of feline heroism, survival, companionship and bravery. Speedy, from Aldeburgh, Suffolk is a finalist in the Hero Cat category, featuring cats that save the day.
Two-year-old Speedy earned her place on the shortlist for being a true heroine to her owners, Joan Payne, and her 19-year-old daughter, Christine.
Christine suffers from a range of conditions including progressive spinal ataxia and epilepsy, meaning she is housebound and prone to sudden seizures. Speedy senses when Christine is going to suffer a seizure and is quick to alert Joan and her husband. She then sits with Christine until she has recovered. Christine also has to spend a lot of time in bed, but Speedy is always there to keep her company.
Thanks for posting these videos. Cats are great.
