SD 9-5. Family pet when Mommy comes home.
1. Never leaves my side
2. Tells me when a seizure is coming by getting needy and whines
3. Paws on chest and nudges under my back to cause me to roll on side
4. Stays there
5. On command, braces shoulders to help me off push off the floor.
6. Really good behavior on public.
7. I use a mobility handle harness on her due to my stumbling and unsteadiness.

My cat never leaves my side during my period and the week after and likes to check up on me in the other rooms when I'm doing something. I know that I'm irregular with my periods so i know when he starts to show more love during a certain time of the month it's getting very close. Once i have my seizure he's back to being independent again

I have really big exprience with doctors about my epilepsy. They gave me too much medicines till they understand I addicted for one of them and It was not working for me. Thats why I never trust them easly. I hope you can find your true address for your helpness...
