I was a hero today... to a life of a little fellow. A baby cat to be exact.

I was driving to work from our house when I saw the kitten in the middle of the road. It was still blind probably a few days old. It didn't move. It was just there crying, for help, I guess. To why it was there I have no clue.

Cars & trucks just passed it by. Boy, only a miracle saved the kitty from getting squished, squashed & flat on the pavement. A common sight around here. God bless their souls :)

So on with my story-- I pulled over about 20 meters from the sight. Still hesitating & waiting for someone to save the poor kitty.

Alas, a 10-wheeler dump truck was coming fast by the curb. I've finally come to my senses & alighted from the car. Running as fast as I can, commanded the truck to stop & got the meowing kitten just at the knick of time. Put her by the sidewalk, by a house with some garden plants and tucked her there. Without getting too attached, left the kitty, "you'll be safe here," I said.

Well, I didn't exactly felt like the man in the blue suit (God bless the man's soul) but at least give the kitten a fighting chance to live and make a difference.

A worldchanger kitty? Maybe.

The last time I saved a cat was 2nd year college. I think it's about time...
