A kitty from Obninsk, Russia, named Masha is being credited with saving the life of an abandoned infant. Both kitty and baby are doing all right.

From the article:

“Clearly her mothering instincts had taken over and she wanted to protect the child,” Lavrova explained. “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 was immediately rushed to a local hospital, where he was given a checkup and declared fit and healthy, officials said. Since the child was found, Masha has been hailed as a hero by local residents — and she’s been reaping the benefits.

1. Nice story but I believe the baby was warm and it was mutual warming.

not to sound mean, but, even as an animal lover, I think strange animals, just recognize living things, but don't know what to do to save them.
