This black cat was more than good luck.
Glen Schallman knew that Blake, a black kitten he took home from the Humane Society of North Texas in January, was special.
"This little boy and I bonded," Schallman told The Huffington Post. "He was meowing, trying to get the [shelter workers] attention, like, 'get me out of here!'"
But Schallman, who has a rare brain condition that causes seizures, didnt know that Blake would save his life within days of his adoption.
Ive had seizures since I was about 5 years old, Schallman said, explaining that seizures in his sleep can cause him to stop breathing. Hes woken up choking before, but fears such a seizure could result in his not waking up at all.
Just a couple of days after adopting Blake, Schallman had a seizure while he was sleeping, and awoke to Blake sharply biting his toe.
