15 Cats That Are Real Life Superheroes By Saving Human Lives..
12. Masha The Cat Saved An Infant From Freezing To Death
Far away in a magical, sometimes awful and utterly freezing place that is known as Russia, a baby was abandoned in a box on the street. Seeing mostly the potential to sit in a box but also to maybe save a child’s life, this one cat couldn’t resist.
As a walking ball of fluff on legs, Masha the cat fit the bill perfectly as the perfect personal space heater for the freezing child. Excited by the prospect of sharing an extremely compact space with another warm creature, Masha simply cozied up to the child and kept him warm until she was able to flag down a human.
After the rescue, Masha was hailed as a true hero and given all of the cardboard boxes in Russia per order of Vladimir Putin. No, not really – but she honestly deserves it.
11. Cat Takes A Bullet To Save 3-Year-Old’s Life
The idea of getting shot while at home just laying in bed isn’t something that people usually think about. If anything, it’s something that they avoid thinking about and at all costs. Thoughts of happy things such as fluffy bunnies and candy canes typically make much more palatable topics of internal discourse.
However, for one family in York, Pennsylvania, getting awoken by a gunshot is exactly what transpired. Angelica Sipe and her son Daemire had both fallen fast asleep in the living room when suddenly a bullet shot through the window, through the loveseat, and towards the sleeping boy.
Understandably, Angelica was terribly shaken when she couldn’t find the bullet – only to realize that their cat, Opie, had literally just taken a bullet for her son. The bullet had gone right through the cat’s head, through his ribcage and out from under his arm.
Sacrificing probably 8 of his 9 lives, Opie managed to survive. Although he experienced some severe muscle damage because one of the bullets shot right through his body.
10. Cat Saves Life of A Tourist Lost In The Swiss Alps
Recently, a Reddit user posted under the name of Sc4s2cg, sharing the story of a cat who came to the rescue when he found himself, to put it lightly: confused, cold, lost, and more than likely – screwed.
The hiker, whose username we can only assume originates from an epic game of battleship, found himself making no hits on a new trail after the only one to his hostel had been closed. The man quickly realized that he was actually stranded on the Alps. If this wasn’t bad enough, he had also sprained his ankle during his trek on one of the mountain trails, leaving him wishing that Judy Garland were still somewhere in the vicinity, the sound of her singing a relaxing lullaby as he entered the waiting, loving arms of oblivion.
Then, something even better than that happened. A black and white tuxedo cat stumbled across the man and decided that today was not his day to die. Needless to say, the man was thrilled. Believing somehow that his chances of getting somewhere back near civilization might just be increased by following a cat, he proceeded to do so.
As it turned out, the cat knew where it was going. Like a badass sherpa on four fuzzy paws, the cat led him through an alternate trail to an area from which he was able to find his way back to the hostel. Just as the cat had mysteriously appeared when he was needed most, it suddently just disappeared.
