A cat saved the life of a newborn baby abandoned on the doorstep of a Cologne house in the middle of the night by meowing loudly until someone woke up, a police spokesman said Saturday.
"The cat is a hero," Cologne police spokesman Uwe Beier said. "Its loud meowing got the attention of the homeowner and saved the baby from suffering life-threatening hypothermia. The homeowner opened door to see why the cat was making so much noise and discovered the newborn."
So maybe cats are worth more than a lap/bed warmer. You could have fooled me, the menagerie around here is pretty useless.
I never have understood why somebody would leave a baby like theis. I am glad it's all right though, thanks to of all things a cat.
If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way. Mark Twain
As for the cat, they got it all wrong. Cat probably stood on the baby and was meowing about it being on her spot. Love my cat, but never could come up with what it added to the universal picture.
Thanks for the laugh, I needed it. I will remember this piece of advice because it does describe how I feel. I just never put it so elegantly.
