Masha to the rescue
Masha is the chubby neighborhood cat and is taken care of by local residents in Obninsk, Russia. She is friendly with everyone, and the folks all offer her food and attention when they encounter her. Irina Lavrova told CEN that she went to take out the trash when she heard Masha mewing loudly nearby. “She is very placid and friendly, so when I heard her meowing, I thought that perhaps she had injured herself,” she said. “Normally, she would have come and said hello to me. You can imagine my shock when I saw her lying in a box next to a baby. Clearly her mothering instincts had taken over and she wanted to protect the child.” Reports said the baby had been left with a pacifier, bottle and diapers, and was dressed warmly, wearing a little hat, as residents described him. The baby was rushed to the hospital and is said to be healthy and doing fine. Doctors think he was only in the cold for a couple of hours. As for Masha, she’s is a hero, because no one quickly would have spotted that poor baby left out in the cold if it weren’t for the cat. “Clearly her mothering instincts had taken over and she climbed into the box to protect the child.” “Everyone in the block is very proud of her,” Lavrova said. “We have all spoiled her rotten by giving her her favorite food.”

A Russian man lives all alone in a cabin: One day, someone from the government shows up and tells him that due to a map surveyor’s error in the 1940s, the cabin he lives in was mistakenly marked as part of Russia, but in fact, it’s actually a part of Belarus.
“Oh thank God!” the man exclaims. “I don’t think I would have been able to stand another Russian winter here.”
