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
