Lima the Cat
When Pearland resident Cherry Woods found herself being attacked by two large pit bulls, she found salvation in the most unlikely creature. "She's the most reclusive, timid animal I've ever seen," Cherry's husband, Harold, told KHOU about the couple's cat Lima. But Lima sprung into action during the attack, hissing and scratching until the killer dogs turned their attention away from Cherry, long enough for Harold to pull his wife to safety. "I'm very glad that we had [Lima]," Harold told the television channel. "When it came down to my wife getting hurt, [the cat] jumped right in. It's amazing." Even better: Lima survived the experience.
