CAT STOPS BURGLAR ATTACK
KITTY HEROINE SAVES A LIFE
- CAT STOPS BURGLAR ATTACK:
-
We've all heard of a guard dog, but a guard cat? A unique
California cat risked his life and paws to rescue his owner
from certain harm as he foiled a burglar's break-in attempt.
-
A cat named Jake was snoozing peacefully on the couch in the
wee hours of the morning. His owner, a single lady in her 30's,
was asleep in the next room. Suddenly an intruder burst into
her bedroom, placed a hand over her mouth, and commanded her
not to make a sound.
-
Without a moment's hesitation Jake came to the rescue. He
leaped onto the intruder's back, scratching and clawing with
all his might until the burglar could take no more and ran out
of the house.
-
Later on, the police arrested the man identified as the
woman's own neighbor. The detectives reported he had tell
tale signs of a cat attack - multiple scratches all over his
arms and shoulders.
-
Jake was a hero. Such an aggressive attack by a cat is quite
unusual, but it is all the more amazing considering Jake's age.
In human years Jake was 21 years old; in cat years that is
equal to over 100 years old!
-
His owner said that when Jake was a kitten, he was always
"feisty" and still today "has his moments."
-
So now all you owners of "feisty" cats, go ahead and put
up that sign: "BEWARE OF GUARD CAT." You should never
underestimate the courage and ability of your feline
companion.

- KITTY HEROINE SAVES A LIFE:
-
Bart the cat may have been just another pretty tabby face
to everyone else, but to high school student Jose Ybara and
his mom, this mischievous little Illinois feline was a true
blue hero.
-
One night a few years ago, just before dawn, as Jose lay in
his bed, he suffered a sudden, life-threatening seizure.
Bart, apparently alarmed by Jose's distress, went running off
and jumped on Jose's mother's bed in the next room.
-
"She was licking my mom's eyelids, scratching and meowing,
doing anything she could to wake her up," Jose later told
reporters.
-
Bart's persistent emergency call thankfully worked. Jose made
it to a nearby hospital, received immediate treatment, and his
life was saved. As a result of Bart's heroic deed, in an
historic first, the government of the state of Illinois
honored the alert feline for outstanding "ingenuity and
persistence" in the rescue of her teenage companion.
-
Never underestimate the ability and intelligence of your
furry friend. NEVER!
