We could say that Opie, more than a hero cat, was also Daemire’s guardian angel, since the cat received the stray bullet that entered the window of the house.

The boy’s mother, Angelica Sipe, heard a noise and entered the room where Daemire and the cat were resting. While her son continued to sleep soundly, Opie was wounded and bleeding on the floor.

The bullet had entered its head, passing through its neck and shoulder, until it reached the animal’s armpit. Finally, the bullet had its path interrupted on a pillow, inches from the boy.

Cat hero and in full recovery

The fact took place in the United States; more precisely in York, Pennsylvania. Opie, living up to the phrase that cats have seven lives, survived the shot and is recovering in his home despite showing muscle damage.

His owner said she is eternally grateful to Opie, as she is convinced that if the cat had not been there, the boy would have received the impact of the bullet.

Like Opie, there are other cats who have received attention from the media and social media for their heroic attitudes. We’ll tell you other stories.

Some time ago, the story of Slinky Malinki, a cat who alerted neighbors to help his owner, who had lost consciousness, became famous . This event took place in Lancashire, in northwest England.

Forty-eight-year-old former nurse Janet Rawlinson had gone into a near-coma state after suffering an adverse reaction from the morphine she used to relieve chronic back pain.

Since this incident, the cat has been more vigilant in relation to its owner, making sure that no harm comes to her. In addition, the pussy helps raise two more kittens that Rawlinson has decided to adopt.
