Last summer's hero news: I have a great-aunt who lives on Long Island. My great-aunt lives near the water and when Hurricane Irene was coming, we had to evacuate including my great-aunt's cat, Bobby. After the storm, Bobby hid under the staircase. I was brave and talked calmly and explained that everything was going to be okay. Finally, I got Bobby out and he screamed but he didn't scratch because he knew he was going home. I was the true cat whisperer and rescuer.
