Cats Are Heroes Too

    Hero cats

  

  

For those of you who have been keeping score, perhaps you've noticed the disparity between heroic deeds performed by cats and dogs. Sure it seems to be a bit lopsided. When it comes to heroes, dogs are oftentimes the focus of the tale; however, what about our fine feline friends? Is a cat capable of saving a human life? And the answer is...YES!

Much like their canine counterparts, cats can be quite brave and dedicated animals. In critical situations, cats can do unbelievable things to help as much as they can. You might think that your frisky fur ball could never do anything heroic, but that's where you are wrong and here's a tale to prove that. Here are some true stories about cats saving their masters:

One particular story that took place in an old village, a cat by the name of Vaska heroically defended his 49-year-old master from robbers. The thieves had broken into the house demanding money. The man pleaded with the robbers telling them that he did not have any savings as he spends his income on the bare essentials, namely break and milk. The robbers being under the influence of narcotic substances, reacted brashly. One of them had reached for an ax and began to approach the 49 year old man. 

It was at that very moment when Vaska jumped on one of the robbers and used his claws to tear at one of the robbers' face. Vaska's attack afforded the man enough time to eke out of the house and call for police. Shortly thereafter, the police had arrived on the scene to discover that the robbers turned assailants had already fled the scene. They also discovered that Vaska lying lifeless on the floor. He died while defending his master.

Another instance where a feline turned heroine took place in Lansing, Michigan. Once again, a house cat and not some feral rescue leaped into action to spare their master from harm, which in this case was saving a seven year old girl from being raped. .It was right around sundown when one Lopez Vulfrido, a 36 year old man, trespassed and spotted a vulnerable girl. Having already taped her mouth shut, the girl's fate seemed all but sealed until her pet cat intervened by attacking Vulfrido before he could tie up the girl. She was able to run away and call for help.

You see, cats are more than just furry little buddies you keep around because they're cute and low maintenance.
