Cats get a lot of bad press but actually they are amazing, loyal, lovable creatures. You can take that from someone who has had four cats at different stages in her life, or you can just watch this amazing footage of the family cat saving a young boy from a dog attack.

This was all picked up on security camera footage and has officially made family cat, Tara, the best cat in the world.

P.S: Here is a picture of my family’s cat, Trigger. He’s gorgeous and he knows it.
