“#Woman credits pet cat with detecting breast cancer, saving life<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Animal instincts might have saved her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kate King-Scribbins believes her pet kitty let the cat out of the bag, alerting her to a cancerous mass growing inside her left breast.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOggy has always loved to snuggle up in my arms but he began to snuggle more aggressively than usual, which was odd,\u201d Scribbins, 35, told Caters News<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI would try and direct him someplace else, but he just wouldn\u2019t have it. He seemed more determined than ever to make sure he was lying near my left breast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then one morning, after months of noticing her rescue animal\u2019s unusual behavior, the Saint Paul, Minnesota native awoke to a shooting pain radiating throughout her body.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scribbins, a married health-care fraud investigator, performed a self-examination on her breasts and discovered a lump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was later diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer, and she immedia<\/a>tely underwent several\u00a0rounds of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries and radiation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I felt the lump and got the dreaded diagnosis that I realized what he had been trying to tell me all along,\u201d Scribbins said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI look back on the changes in his behavior towards me before my breast cancer diagnosis and I truly believe he was trying to alert me to the dangers growing in my body.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scribbins credits Oggy, who she rescued 15 years ago, with detecting her malignancy at its early stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But she accepts that most skeptics and non-pet owners will largely poo-poo her pussycat\u2019s prophetic powers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Scribbins
Scribbins doesn\u2019t mind being publicly referred to as a \u201ccrazy cat lady\u201d if it means her story will inspire others to notice health warning signs from their pets. <\/figcaption>

\u201cI don\u2019t blame people who don\u2019t believe me,\u201d she insisted. \u201cBut I\u2019m not above looking like a crazy cat lady if it means someone else is alerted to a health problem sooner than I was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Scribbins, breast cancer wasn\u2019t the first threat made to her well-being.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She was diagnosed with rare genetic mutation CDH1, which causes both lobular breast cancer and hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Doctors were then forced to remove her entire stomach. She\u2019s now considered to have no evidence of the disease.<\/p>\n

But Scribbins \u2014 who shares Oggy, another cat and two dogs with her husband Andy, 37 \u2014\u00a0realizes that cancer will likely always be a part of their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Scribbins,
Scribbins, who shares Oggy, another cat and two dogs with her husband Andy, praises their animals for providing her with emotional support throughout her health challenges. <\/figcaption>

\u201cI can\u2019t say I\u2019m on the \u2018other side\u2019 of cancer, because as all cancer patients know, the effects of ongoing treatments and checkups, are never ending,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, since completing chemotherapy and undergoing tumor removal surgery, Oggy has stopped focusing his attention on her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf only I would have realized what he was trying to tell me,\u201d Scribbins pined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She joke that if Oggy had the ability to verbally communicate with her, he would have called her \u201cstupid\u201d for ignoring his warning signs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf only pets could talk,\u201d she added. \u201cI can\u2019t help but wonder if I could have caught my cancer sooner had I noticed his behavior and listened to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Regardless
Regardless of her medical issues, Scribbins is grateful to be a live and surrounded by love. <\/figcaption>

Despite her failure to immediately decode Oggy\u2019s cryptic messages \u2014 and the cat\u2019s inability to translate his meows into words of wisdom \u2014 Scribbins is thankful to be a survivor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCancer is forever a part of my life, and I am OK with that,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has made me who I am today and I am forever grateful to my amazing family, friends and of course my animals for their emotional support.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
