[To show that there is still humanity in the world](https://www.yahoo.com/autos/watch-a-biker-heroically-rescue-a-kitten-from-a-171422367.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb). > [@](#): > > [A]t 12 seconds into the video, a red vehicle travels from left to right, appearing to drop the kitten right into the middle of the road; it’s thought the cat had perhaps sought sanctuary in the engine bay and thus fell out. > > \ > > As soon as she identified the stranded feline in the road, the lady leaped off her bike, into traffic, and heroically sprung to the rescue. Amazingly the kitten was unhurt, despite numerous vehicles driving directly over it. ---

I just tried to show the video to Mrs. L.A., and there was an unskippable, almost three-minute commercial that was too long to sit through. [Here’s a link to a news page](http://abc7.com/pets/viral-video-motorcyclist-rescues-kitten-from-busy-intersection/1047145/). The video is edited, but has additional footage of the kitten post-rescue. ---

Thats great! Self endangering, but great. And now she has a cute, middle-of-the-night-vase-crashing little monster in her home. ---

My favorite part was how she totally disregarded danger to her bike to get the kitten to safety first. I admire her priorities. ---

That’s something I would do. I once had to stop traffic on a 4 lane road here, because a family of ducks (momma, and 8 babies) were crossing the road. The other drivers were very kind, several joined me in making a barricade with their cars and the people who were held up for a few minutes didn’t complain at all. If I hadn’t done it I would have thought about nothing else but those poor ducks, for the next couple of days. Kudos to this lady for rescuing the poor kitty. She has a friend for life now. ---

She should name her “Leaf”. 😃 Probably dangerous, but it’ll be a cool story to tell whenever anyone asks, “Oh, when did you get a cat?”
