This was no ordinary CAT scan.
But Lionel Adams believes it saved his life.
Now recovering from surgery to remove cancer from his lung, Adams, 59, is crediting his eight-year-old feline friend Tiger for alerting him and his family doctor to a mass in his lung.
“He would climb into bed and take his paw and drag it down my left side — he was adamant there was something there,” he said.
“And it was right where the cancer was.”
