Life-saving cat wins top award

A cat that goes for help when her disabled owner suffers seizures has been rewarded with a national prize.

Two-year-old tabby Speedy, from Aldeburgh in Suffolk, has been named Rescue Cat of the Year 2008.



Speedy's owner Christine Payne, 19, suffers from epilepsy and progressive spinal ataxia. She also has severe learning difficulties.

As well as being a faithful companion, Speedy senses Miss Payne's seizures and alerts the teenager's parents.
