A true and heartwarming story comes from the aftermath caused by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. No one knows for sure how the tailless cat and pup became friends. Did they live in the same house when the storm hit or meet afterwards? What is known is that these two animals share a remarkable friendship and probably would not have survived without each other.
Four months after the hurricane, a construction worker found the two of them scrounging food scraps at the site where he worked and took them to a temporary animal shelter. It was there a vet named them Bobbi and Bob Cat. When they were separated, each to a 'dog' or 'cat' room, Bobbi spent the night whining and barking while Bob Cat paced relentlessly. Finally, the workers, hoping to ease the animals' anxiety, relent, and place them in the same cage where they are happily reunited. What they learn next will amaze you!
