Urgent plea for Gizmo
We received a call from Steven Piel about his lost cat, Gizmo.
But Gizmo isn't just any cat. It seems the 4-year-old feline has an uncanny ability to predict his owner's heart attacks.
Piel's had 12 of them over the years. After he acquired Gizmo, the cat began rubbing up against his chest in the moments before Piel had the last eight episodes.
Gizmo, who Piel takes with him everywhere for obvious reasons, was in the car last Friday (Aug. 5) as his owner stood outside talking to a friend. Piel didn't realize one of the car windows was rolled down far enough for Gizmo to escape.
He was last seen near Del Amo and Crenshaw Boulevards. Call Piel at 310-938-5834.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
