I don’t think we – PoC regulars – like this, do we? I hate to go on about celebrity cats etc. — isn’t this another example? At the first opportunity Tara is employed as a celebrity cat. I don’t want to be grumpy cat but might it not be a better idea to let Tara have a nice snooze in her usual place at home?
If you are one of the few who is yet to hear about Tara, this page will help (the page opens in a new window).
I wonder if Tara’s owner’s got paid. You bet! If I am wrong, sorry – but I’d be surprised is some money did not exchange hands bearing in mind the known commercial potential of celebrity cats of which there are quite a number.
I am not alone in my thoughts, however. This is the first comment on YouTube under the video:
Poor cat. Why is she being punished like this? She saved his life! Let the little boy do it. I’m sure Tara would prefer some peace and quiet and maybe some tasty fresh chicken. Not being dragged out to a large crowd like this. Stupid stupid people.
Excellent comment. What do you think?
How very sad that what seemed a very nice family, the father of the boy saying they weren’t going to go after the neighbour for recompense for medical bills etc has now turned into another media circus and the cat who was the hero of the hour is being exploited, it almost makes you wish the cat had been asleep at the time and then the mother would have had to rescue the boy and the cat could have continued the life that cats enjoy, of just living their day to day lives without opening football matches or discount stores!
The dog that bit the boy, Jeremy, has been euthanised.
