Fortunately, the cat kept by the family woke them up, and the fire was controlled in time without causing serious danger. According to the homeowner Mr. Zhang, around 3:50 a.m. that day, he and his family were sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard piercing cat cries from the living room. "The cat never calls out at night. Could it be a burglar?" He hurried to the living room and found the refrigerator was on fire, with flames more than one meter high and black smoke emerging, almost igniting the natural gas meter just 2 centimeters away. The white cat was so scared it curled up into a ball, hiding inside a leather suitcase 1.5 meters in front of the refrigerator, screaming towards the bedroom. Seeing this, Zhang quickly woke his family, and 10 minutes later the fire was extinguished.

On May 7, 2007, a cat named Mel—O in Canada attracted significant attention. According to China Net, this little cat is usually very gentle, but one day it suddenly jumped onto its owner Alex Ross’s bed, onto his chest, and fiercely struck his face until Ross woke up. What happened? Both Ross and his mother suffer from type I diabetes. After the mother’s treatment went well, she assumed her son was fine too. But after some trouble caused by the cat, the mother felt something was unusual and took her son for a checkup. It turned out the son's blood sugar was dangerously low.
Ross’s mother was also puzzled and said she didn’t know what magical way this cat used to sense her son’s poor health. She said Mel—O is like family, always by her son’s side when he is sick.
