Booboo Kitty, the Hero Cat

Thompson the cat, at six months of age

In upper Manhattan, when it's owners were held naked at gunpoint by a robber, a cat by the name of Booboo Kitty wandered into the scene. The robber picked up the cat, who hissed and scratched him, causing the robber to drop the cat. The cat ran to another room, and the robber, his thieving pride wounded, chased the cat, giving one of the owners the chance to escape and call the police. That's an impressive feat. The cats we know would just yawn and fall asleep.
