\nWhile we understand the physical ability of how a cat can land on his feet<\/a> , the concept of surviving after tumbling off of a sky scraper is hard to believe. In 1993, an 18 month old cat named Mogadon fell from a window ledge nearly 21 stories high.\u00a0 Because she was fortunate enough to land on a bush, the force of the fall was decreased, allowing the cat to bounce right onto the cement sidewalk. There she walked around until a neighbor who had witnessed the scene, went to comfort her.

Unsinkable Sam During WWII one cat who lived on board a German ship called the Bismarck, managed to live through a vicious torpedo attack that left only 115 of the original 2,200 crewmen.\u00a0 When a group of Brits found the cat floating on a piece of wood, they named him Oscar and made him an inhabitant of the HMS Cossack.\u00a0 Three days later, this ship also was tragically attacked, but Oscar escaped when that ship too sank under the waves. This inspired his new name \u201cUnsinkable Sam\u201d and the cat was transfer to a large aircraft carrier called the HMS Ark Royal.\u00a0 For the third time, Unsinkable Sam\u2019s ship was destroyed by the enemy, leaving the cat once again a survivor without a ship. The British Navy then decided to retire the veteran from his duties on board (for though HE was lucky, the ships he sailed on were not!). Unsinkable Sam lived for 14 more years in a cozy Belfast Home after surviving the sinking of 3 different ships!

\nWhen her pet-parents embarked on a lengthy trip to Vietnam, Chloe the cat was given into the care of the next-door neighbors who planned to feed and provide nightly shelter for her. Two days into the trip, Chloe crossed the roof in search of a way to get back inside her own house.\u00a0 She crawled into the chimney and became stuck, unbeknownst to her neighbors who searched in a panic for weeks.\u00a0 Having lost all hope, the pet owners arrived back some 6 weeks later, and were shocked to find their emaciated cat whimpering in the chimney shaft. Chloe has since been fully recovered;\u00a0 but living for six weeks without food and water is an impressive feat for any creature!<\/p>\n
\nPhoenix was just a kitten when she crawled under a parked car to escape the Arizona heat. The little munchkin situated herself into the bumper of the car and accidentally got stuck inside.\u00a0 The car owners Russ and Tracy Perry could hear faint meowing, but after finding no trace of a cat anywhere around the car, they continued the journey.\u00a0 Some 400 miles later the Perrys arrived in California and took the car to a mechanic for a check-up.\u00a0 There they found the kitten had ridden the entire distance in the bumper, and had arrived without a scratch!<\/p>\n
\nFlorida\u2019s Humane Society at Tampa Bay was astonished when they found out what their latest arrival had gone though. After Bart was hit by a car, his owner found the body bloodied and as stiff as a corpse. He buried the cat, but was shocked when 5 days later, Bart appeared in the front yard covered in dirt and blood.\u00a0 The cat had dug himself out of the grave, and made his way to safety where he received treatment for a broken jaw and lost an eye. Bart was later referred to as the \u201cMiracle Cat\u201d because of how he amazingly survived and accident and a burial!<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Though the loyalty of dogs is often trumpeted more than that of cats, there is no denying that felines heroically exert their own protective instincts. When 97-year old Sophie Thomas was gardening in her front yard, a group of four Pit Bull Terriers attacked her without warning.\u00a0 While Thomas feared being mauled to death by these ferocious and notorious human killers<\/a>, her courageous cat Tiger leapt to the rescue and distracted the dogs long enough for the elderly woman to get away. She went inside to treat the bite wounds and mourn the loss of her sacrificial cat, who would surely be ripped to shreds.\u00a0 Thomas was delighted and relieved when Tiger returned later that day, having escaped in fine condition!<\/p>\n
