CAT HEROES - STORIES OF BRAVERY, SUPPORT AND RESILIENCE - Britain's National Cat Awards

People often say that dogs are man's best friend.  But these cats could give them a run for their money.  A life-saver, a bully-basher and an escape artist: The incredible daring stories of Britain's most remarkable family pets from this year's National Cat Awards. 

The winners were presented with their awards at a ceremony at London's Savoy Hotel last night

Hero Cat award went to Cleo who rushed for help when her owner Richard was having a heart attack

Nelson won Most Incredible Story prize for surviving when he was thrown in the sea tied in a sack 

 

 

 

The Hero Cat award went to 15-year-old CLEO (above left), who rushed for help when her owner Richard Jenkins was having a heart attack.  Trying and failing to call his wife downstairs, Mr Jenkins was left struggling for breath in his room.  But Cleo pounced into action, running up and down the stairs until Pauline, confused, followed her up to calm her down.  She reached her husband just in time and called 999. He is now recovering well.

Last night, he won the public vote award for best cat.
