LAFAYETTE -- "Nudge" the cat is a certified Red Cross Real Hero.

The stray cat was dumped on Nick and Kathy Pascal's land in LaFayette, starving and with broken teeth from chewing on tree bark to survive. Nudge came around, and on April 9th repaid the Pascals' kindness.

That morning she woke Nick up by scratching him, forcing him out of bed. That may not seem like kindness, but when he got up, he smelled the smoke of his garage on fire. he was able to get Kathy out safely, and call the fire department.

Firefirghters were able to save the Pascals' home.
