I Want To Hear Heroic Cat Stories!

I just read about a dog that saved his owner and I was thinking that most cats I know wouldn't bother themselves with such things. But the truth is that my cat has never been called upon to be heroic and might very well step up to the task. I have never heard about heroic cats though.

Does anyone know of any stories where a cat saved someone? I'd LOVE to hear it.

Oh I've seen several of hero cat stories.

Here are a few: Cat saves 97 Yr old Owner http://www.news24.com/News24/World/News/0,,2-10-1462_2368607,00.html

Oh yes, all the time. I can't give you the links. These are local stories. In the past couple of years, I recall a cat who smelled a gas leak and finally managed to get its owner's attention. They said it was about to explode -- saved lives. In two other cases I can remember, cats have awoken families at night, saving them from fires that had broken out in their homes.

Cats are heroes too!

Those are some really great stories with even more coming in all the time.

Really some great stories. It is amazing how pets can do things that you would never expect from them.

Oh I love these stories. Thank you so much for starting this thread. I have no doubt that if there was a fire, that my cat Tiger would do anything to get his family up. Plus, he is so big he can practically push us out of bed. He does that already, if he thinks the kids need help getting up.
