    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.
