Student Nathan Cooper suffers from epilepsy, causing him to have seizures and fainting at any time. However, Cooper's family can be assured because he is always cared for by Lilly pet. This 14-month-old cat possesses a special ability: can be warned before the owner seizes seizures.

' Normally, Lilly is a very quiet cat, but when Nathan is about to go into a seizure, Lilly starts to show abnormalities, like walking a lot in the house and often calling in strange voices. Thanks to these signs, we were able to anticipate Nathan's seizure and help his son avoid trauma while convulsing , 'said Tracey Cooper, Nathan's mother, on the Daily Mail.

Ms. Tracey Cooper revealed that Lilly also had at least once saved Nathan's life. She said: ' After a seizure and fainting, Nathan stopped breathing. At that time, Lilly felt very worried, licking Nathan's mouth and suddenly helping my son to breathe again. Now Lilly is almost always with my son . '

Some scientists believe that the very sensitive sense of smell of dogs and cats can help them detect chemical changes in the human body when preparing for seizures and fainting.

With this special sixth sense, Lilly cats won the My Pet Superstar competition - for animals with special abilities.
