A woman has credited her kitten for saving her life, by helping her to diagnose breast cancer.

After two weeks of the unusual behavior she became worried enough to consult her general practitioner and was astounded when tests revealed a pea-sized lump that could have killed her if it had remained undiagnosed.
The 52-year-old from Wroughton has undergone chemotherapy and is set to have a mastectomy, the Daily Mail reported.
On Monday night, as she held her savior Fidge, she said, "She saved my life. I'm so glad I got her."
General practitioner Carol Cooper, who teaches medicine at Imperial College, London, believes there is a logical explanation for Fidge's diagnostic talent.
"Cats love going somewhere warm. It may be that she noticed a subtle change in temperature because of the tumor," she said.
