A North Battleford, Sask., mother believes her 12-year-old son’s cat, Racket, helped save his life.

A woman is calling her cat a hero after a stray bullet that flew threw their window hit their cat Opie, missing her three-year-old son by inches.

A cat that became famous for saving a central California boy from a dog attack threw the first pitch Tuesday night at a Bakersfield Blaze minor league baseball game - or at least she tried.
