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 baseball game - or at least she tried.

The cat, named Tara, was captured on security camera on May 13 when she pounced on a dog that attacked her 4-year-old human Jeremy Triantafilo.

She might be one of the Cravendale Cats don’tchaknow.

That is still one of the best “cat bites dog” stories I’ve ever seen!

The follow up is good, because we know what happened to the boy, and how the cat became so protective. Good story, S&A! Thanks.

Why do they use language like “ her 4-year old human” I think it should say her “owner” or “master”, are we giving animals personage now a days?

7 of one, half a dozen of the other........Most people don't even give it a thought.......

Always a pleasure.

You’ve never served a cat, have you? ;)

[Daffynition]

Yes. Dogs too.

Good thing that Billy Martin Kitteh isn’t around to argue.

"She was his cat, but he owned her not."

...I think it should say her “owner” or “master”,..

That's only for folks who are into dominating their surroundings. You can "own" a cat on paper, but the cat chooses who it will obey. A dog isn't quite as independent, and they still rely on us for food and shelter, as do cats. But to be their "master?" Pish and tosh. Fairyfluff.

That’s Grumpy!

This is so cool!

More like her 4 year old servant.

“Owner” or “Master” aside, I think the boy will be taught and grew up very thankful for his hero cat buddy.

Because cats are "owned" by no one....
