Oregon City 'hero cat' that rescued soldier to be honored by ASPCA

[joeybee12]

When Staff Sgt. Jesse Knott saved the life of a stray cat named Koshka in Afghanistan, the cat eventually returned the favor.

The courageous cat now lives in Oregon City with Knott’s parents, but his story made it all the way to New York City, where the ASPCA selected him as ‘Cat of the Year.’

Knott, 38, first came across Koshka the cat while he was stationed in a tiny village of Hutal around July of 2010.

As they were setting up camp, a cute stray kitten wandered through. Knott soon noticed things that something seemed amiss with it.

I'm so sick of the anti-cat stuff that goes around.
