when she pounced on a dog that attacked her 4-year-old human Jeremy Triantafilo.

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?

"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.

“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....
