I’ve gathered during my six years that humans love to debate issues, and there are some real classics out there: Toilet paper over or under? Yankees or Red Sox? And my favorite, dogs or cats?
Mama G has a friend who clearly is not a cat person. In fact, this friend pretty much regards us as useless creatures, and cites as evidence the fact that while there are plenty of stories about “hero dogs,” no one hears much about heroic cats.
How silly! As everyone now knows, most of the news humans are fed is fake! So I’m just not buying it that cats are incapable of heroism, and I offer this story as proof. It’s definitely not fake.
Now I’m not going to pretend that I could possibly be a big hero. As I mentioned the other day, I’m a bit of a coward. So if the house ever catches fire in the middle of the night, Those Two can fend for themselves — I’ll be cowering in the basement.
But I’d like to think of myself as something of an everyday hero, just a little guy who tries to bring joy to people’s lives, making them smile, maybe even laugh, and lowering their blood pressure a little. And that’s sort of like saving people, isn’t it?
Oh, and just for the record, I prefer the toilet paper over. It makes it much easier to wreak havoc that way.

I agree Sir Oxbow…toilet paper over!
As for heroes… My cat, “Baby B” saved my life. When I lived elsewhere, I had returned home from work and took a lovely nap with my beloved furry friend. Next thing I knew…I was being roused from the nap by furious pounding of paws upon my chest!
My furnace had misfired and was spewing carbon monoxide throughout the house. First thing I did was pick up Baby B and throw her onto the sceened in porch for fresh air. Then I called the fire dept for help and got the hell out of the house.
My furry friend did indeed save my life…and that is heroism in my book!

So glad Baby B was there for you! I hope to hear more such tales of feline heroism!

Oxbow you are a true hero…let me explain why… ordinarily on a beautiful hot day like today I would be in our pool with the music on jogging around the perimeter… unfortunately I can’t go in just yet (your mamas can explain)…. anyway I am in the house with the air conditioning on, drinking a can of soda and catching up on your blog which has been very entertaining and made me very happy 😃….so Oxbow you are my hero!!
