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.

What a good girl! She even called out for help.

I love stories that help people understand...well, some of them...that cats do have a loving, pro-human nature.

[CatherineofAragon]

"No wonderment here...Cat could care less about the baby."

You're exactly right! The care did care, so there was plenty of room for her to care less.

Congrats on your present. :)

You’re not girly at all. You now own the most efficient predator on earth. They’re miniature tigers, and a lot of the time they don’t understand they aren’t 7 feet long and 600 lbs.

Cats are tough.

“...there is video of a cat putting itself in harm’s way to save a kid from a dog attack...”

I saw that! That cat kicked the dog’s butt, big time. No human could have chased him off so effectively.

Good on this kitty, very glamorous in a very Russian way too!

Kitty mamas love their kittens - even the hoomin ones.

Well but then there is my 112 year old blue heeler who likes to clean out the cat box and then come lick me.

Let him - it obviously isn't doing him any harm.

[CatherineofAragon]

They absolutely do.

"Let him - it obviously isn't doing him any harm."

LOL

Whatever he’s eating, I’m feeding it to my next dog.

WOW!!

[TheOldLady]

I couldn’t agree more.

It seems that some people who “hate” cats are going for a humor angle, though.

Or...was the cat using the baby to keep itself warm?

In which case, why was the cat meowing? At the risk of having its new-found source of warmth suddenly removed?

[Biggirl]

God Bless that cat! :) =^..^=

[Slings and Arrows]

Amen.

[freedomlover]

Sorry but you are all missing the real reason.

It was a box.
