Monday 6th October 2003 - A lamb drowning in a swimming pool was saved by a
cat who managed to get help.

Black-and-white Puss Puss, emulating the exploits of dog Lassie,
frantically miaowed and ran back and forth to the pool to alert her owners
to the impending tragedy.

Puss Puss, who has no tail, had accompanied her owners while they worked on
a private garden in Icomb, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

Gardeners Adrian Bunton and Karen Lewis knew something was wrong when they
found their cat in an agitated state, miaowing and trying to communicate
something.

Householder Jill Royle, whose garden they were working in, said: "She was
in a very, very agitated state, miaowing and calling and crying and being
an utter pest and dashing back and forward between them and the pool.

"They found the lamb in the swimming pool. They got it out and it was OK."

She said she did not know how the lamb had escaped from the small flock of
Jacob sheep in a nearby field.

Praising her lifesaving cat, Ms Lewis told the Gloucestershire Echo: "She's
a real little superstar."
