Kitty angel

Back from work, relaxing with my dinner (or breakfast, for your normal folks :D) and enjoying the glories of the teh interwebs.

What's even more glorious? A wonderful story like this :

Dubbing him a "guardian angel," "wonder cat" and "miracle kitty," the staff and volunteers at the Nine Lives Foundation's Feline Well-Care Clinic say Christopher can tell when other cats need help. He will sit outside the cages of sick felines until someone lets him in, and last month, the clinic says, he saved the life of a kitten in need of a blood transfusion......

.....Christopher kept jumping up on the operating table, rubbing on Thompson and nuzzling the kitten. So Thompson grabbed Christopher and used his blood for the transfusion.

Thompson didn't know it at the time, but the kitten had an uncommon "B" blood type found in about 20 to 25 percent of the cat population. It's also a blood type usually found in purebred cats, Thompson said, so she wouldn't have expected to find it in the black shorthaired kitten.

Ah, Christopher! I love it when animals get human names. It just seems to suit them so much sometimes! Interestingly enough, I've been reading up on angels and I am absolutely convinced that Christopher is one of them too. And he's gorgeous to boot. What wise eyes in a kitty!

I also feel like tearing up when I read stories like this but that's *cough* just between you and me.
