Cat Saves Baby
« on: January 15, 2015, 09:20:47 pm »
Eat your heart out, Lassie!

Masha, a long-haired tabby cat, saved the life of a baby abandoned in the streets of Russia — after she climbed into the box he was discarded in and kept him warm, health officials said.

“The baby had only been outside for a few hours and thanks to Masha … he was not damaged by the experience,” a hospital spokesman told Central European News.

The whiskered hero even meowed to get the attention of a passerby.
“She is very placid and friendly, so when I heard her meowing, I thought that perhaps she had injured herself,” said Obninsk city resident Irina Lavrova. “Normally she would have come and said hello to me. You can imagine my shock when I saw her lying in a box next to a baby.”

Masha is a communal cat who is looked after by local residents. When she found the baby — who appeared to be in great shape — she immediately took to him as if he were her own, according to CEN.

Have I ever mentioned that I love animals?

I thought this was a very sweet story.  Do you have an emotionally uplifting story that you'd like to share?   :heart:
Have a great day!

A very nice story!


Good refutation of the old "cats steal babies' breath" myth too.

I've never heard of this particular story.  A great one to say the least!  This just proves what I say all the time.  "Humans have so very much to learn from animals."  I sometimes feel that the "animals" are more "human" than a human could ever be.

This is why, I trust animals more than humans from the day I was born. Animals give love that's unconditional straight from the heart!Thanks for sharing, this gives me hope in this dark unforgiving world we live in now! :thumbsup: :cat:

I saw that on facebook. Such a nice story to read. Still feel sorry for the baby that he/she was left out in the cold like that. Animals are pretty great :)

Thanks for sharing this amazing story of the whiskered hero!

That baby is very fortunate the momma cat took care of him.

What a sweet kitty! Cats are my favorite animals; they are so cute, and so smart, even though they have a mind of their own.
