* A frequent joke in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]] 3.5'' was that cats are the greatest enemy of humanity. Statistically, a common housecat would be able to kill a first-level human peasant better than half the time. In defence of the cats, there is nothing in the rules indicating they ''want'' to kill humans. [[Cats Are Superior|They are just surprisingly good at it.]] |

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlett_%28cat%29 Scarlett the cat] ventured into a burning house over and over in order to rescue her five kittens. By the end, she suffered severe burns and her eyes had blistered shut. Sadly, one of the kittens died shortly thereafter, but the remaining four and Scarlett herself were all eventually adopted out to loving homes. On October 11, 2008, Scarlett passed away, but the ''Scarlett Award for Animal Heroism'' has been named in her honor. |
