In Russia, where apparently babies are left in the street in boxes, a neighborhood cat is being hailed as a hero for saving the life of an abandoned baby. The “communal” cat climbed in next to a little baby boy left in a box outside, keeping the child warm and alerting a neighbor with constant “meows”..
The neighbor said of the cat; “She is very placid and friendly so when I heard her mewing I thought that perhaps she had injured herself because normally she would have come and said hello to me. You can imagine my shock when I saw her lying in a box next to a baby..”
From The Mirror: As well as making sure the three-month-old didn’t freeze to death, the moggy (cat) raised the alarm by crying out to make people aware of the boy’s presence. Irina Lavrova, 68, who lives near to where the tot was dumped in Obinsk, Russia, was throwing out rubbish when she heard Masha the cat meowing near the bins.

She went over to check Masha – a communal cat – was all right, and could not believe her eyes when she saw the baby boy lying among next to the moggy. “Masha is a communal cat who everyone takes turns in looking after,” she said.

“Clearly her mothering instincts had taken over and she wanted to protect the child.
“He was well-dressed with a little hat and whoever left him here had even left a few nappies and some baby food.”
The baby boy was taken by ambulance to hospital where he was given a check up and declared fit and healthy.
The baby boy is in good health, according to medics
Of course the kid still has to live in Russia..
