Cat Saves The Life of a Newborn Baby.
April 17th 2006
Berlin (Reuters) - 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."
Beier said the boy was taken to hospital at 5 a.m. on Thursday, when
overnight temperatures fell toward zero, and had suffered only mild
hypothermia. He said there was no indication of what happened to the boy's
mother. "
