Cat saves baby's life
A cat has saved the life of a newborn baby abandoned on the doorstep of a Cologne house in Germany in the middle of the night, by meowing loudly until someone woke up, a police spokesman says.
"The cat is a hero," Cologne police spokesman Uwe Beier said.
"Its loud meowing got the attention of the home-owner and saved the baby from suffering life-threatening hypothermia.
"The home-owner opened the door to see why the cat was making so much noise and discovered the newborn."
Mr Beier says the boy was taken to hospital at 5:00am local time on Thursday, when overnight temperatures fell toward zero, and had suffered only mild hypothermia.
He says there is no indication of what happened to the boy's mother.
