An abandoned baby was saved from a certain freezing death because of a stray cat that is now being hailed as a hero.
According to the New York Post, Masha, a long-haired tabby, climbed inside a box discarded at the entrance of an apartment block in Russia and discovered a baby boy. Instead of being scared away, she stayed with the baby, keeping him warm. Health officials believe the baby had been left outside for a few hours on a day when temperatures were several degrees centigrade below zero.
Obninsk city resident Irna Lavora says she heard Masha "meow" for help.
