Here Are The Stories Of 12 Heroic Cats That Won The ‘National Cat Awards’
Sometimes pets are not only companions, friends, and family members. Sometimes they’re your guardian angels, helping you through life’s difficulties, diseases and sicknesses, loss, and grief. Sometimes they even save your life. That is what this article is about—amazing animals that changed lives and have been there for their humans through it all, guiding them into better days.
Cats Protection organized awards to bring to light how much our animals do for us, specifically cats. They gathered stories from all over the UK and picked 12 that were the most wholesome, heartwarming, and just amazing. These awards are known as the «National Cat Awards» and are organized annually. The winner will be announced on August 5th.
Awards organizer Kate Bunting said: “Now more than ever, the nation’s pet cats play a hugely important role in the lives of their owners—whether it’s providing a soothing presence in worrying times, companionship for people living or working alone, or fun and caring playmates for children. We are absolutely delighted to be returning with the National Cat Awards this year so we can share some of these inspirational, heart-warming, and amazing stories from the cat world.”

#1 Minty – Holywell, Flintshire (Finalist)
«For six-year-old Connor Raven and mum Siobhan Cobb, everyday life can feel like a challenge. Connor has severe learning difficulties and a range of medical conditions, including ataxic cerebral palsy, which affects his physical, mental, and emotional development. Fortunately, Connor has the best possible therapy at his side – his much-loved cat Minty. When the world gets too much and Connor suffers an emotional meltdown, Minty is always first on the scene, rubbing his face on Connor’s hand and helping to rapidly calm him. Minty helps Connor cope with every aspect of daily life – from keeping him settled at meal times to providing a soothing presence at bedtime. Remarkably, Minty – who only has three legs after being hit by a car – even helped Connor learn to climb the stairs. Mum Siobhan explains: ‘Minty would spend hours jumping one step at a time, stopping to allow Connor to catch up. It was incredible to witness him patiently encourage Connor to achieve something he found so difficult. Connor can be very loud, and his medical conditions mean he’s very wobbly and clumsy. Many pets would understandably keep their distance, but not Minty – when Connor is at his most in need, Minty is there like a shot.’»

#2 Paddy – Wirral, Cheshire (Finalist)
«Comforting grieving families on one of the most difficult days of their lives is all in a day’s work for Paddy. For the past few years, the 10-year-old puss has been making daily trips to the Co-op Funeralcare’s Mayfields Remembrance Park, a short walk from his home. Once there, Paddy spends his days providing a soothing presence to mourners before returning home to his owners each evening. If requested by grieving relatives, Paddy will attend services – often settling on the front row – or sit alongside families as they pay their final respects outdoors, always on hand with a comforting purr. Owner Stuart explained: ‘The burial ground is about a five-minute walk, and Paddy will head off there most days after his breakfast. He’s a very calm and gentle cat, and we’ve heard lovely stories of how his being there has helped people cope during a difficult day. He’s very committed to his day job, and sometimes if it’s 6 pm and he’s not home I will jump in the car and drive down to the burial ground. I open the car door and call his name and he’ll come running and jump in, ready to go home for his tea.’»
#3 Penelope – Salisbury, Wiltshire
«Everyday life is unpredictable, painful, and frightening for Zoe, 28, who suffers from a range of complex medical issues including craniocervical instability and Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. The conditions mean Zoe is barely able to hold her head up, is prone to breaking or dislocating bones, and suffers terrifying seizures without warning. Thankfully, help is at hand in the form of loving puss Penelope, who senses when Zoe is about to have a seizure and raises the alarm. Zoe explained: ‘My seizures often come at night when I’m in bed and can often leave me with injuries. But Penelope sleeps with me, and when a seizure is about to start she will run and attract my mum’s attention so she can come and help me. She’s not really a vocal cat at any other time, the only time she meows is to get mum’s attention.’ After a seizure, Zoe can be left feeling weak and traumatized, but Penelope will sit with her to provide a comforting presence while she recovers.»
«The awards help promote the benefits of adopting cats, which is important because at any one time, Cats Protection has thousands of unwanted and abandoned cats in its care that are in desperate need of new homes.»
#4 Bruno – Leeds, West Yorkshire (Finalist)
«Caroline and Damon Green were going through the most unbearable time of their lives after their baby daughter Freyja died at just five days old, following complications at birth. As the couple began the painful task of learning to live with their grief, they found hope in the most unexpected of places – a cardboard box dumped near their home, containing four tiny kittens. Taking the kittens home, the couple nursed them to full health, a process which in turn helped them cope with the pain of losing their daughter. Caroline, 32, said: ‘We had a lot of love to give, and the kittens gave us something to focus on and care for. Looking back now, they were just what we needed to help us cope. Caring for them took the edge off the pain and brought a ray of light into some very hard days.’ When the kittens were old enough, the couple rehomed three of them but decided to keep Bruno. Caroline added: ‘Bruno was the one that really struggled with confidence and was very afraid. We had to do lots of work to socialize him and as a result, I got very close to him. When the time came, I knew I couldn’t be parted with him, so we kept him.’»
#5 Weasley And Jinx – St. Leonards-On-Sea, East Sussex
«For staff at Southdowns Nursing Home in St Leonards-on-Sea, brother-and-sister duo Weasley and Jinx are part of the team. For residents, they’re part of the family. The loving pair arrived at the home in the summer of 2019 and since then have gone onto have a huge effect on the lives of residents at the home, which cares for people with a variety of physical and/or mental health needs, including dementia. From curling up on laps for a comforting cuddle to entertaining all with their playful antics, the cats are part of daily life. Having the cats around has helped bring back happy memories for some residents, while others with communication difficulties may speak only to talk about their feline friends. But it’s not just the good days where the cats are there with a helping paw. The staff has been touched to notice how Jinx seems to sense when a resident may be nearing the end of life, choosing to stay by their side during their final hours. Associate Practitioner Darren Fouracre said ‘It’s incredibly moving and exceptionally comforting. The cats are there in the good times and bad, always bringing a smile to everyone. They are loved by residents and staff alike, and we would not be without them.’»

#6 Doris – Newport, Wales
«Brave eight-year-old Delilah has faced more challenges in her short life than most people will in their entire lives. Diagnosed with leukemia in January 2018, little Delilah has endured two and a half years of grueling chemotherapy, fought off several debilitating infections, and spent large chunks of time in hospital. Throughout it all, there’s been one friend who has kept Delilah’s spirits up – Doris. When the pain was unbearable, and the emotional toll of losing her hair or missing out on friends’ birthday parties was too much, it was Doris who helped brighten Delilah’s days. Always happy to join in a teddy bear’s tea party or to cuddle up for a story, Doris has brought fun and laughter into Delilah’s life when she couldn’t leave the house. And it’s not just Delilah that Doris has helped – she’s provided comfort and companionship for older brother Dylan, 14, and helped him cope with the impact of his sister’s treatment. Over two years after her diagnosis, Delilah is close to completing her final round of treatment and is looking forward to getting back to school and leading a normal life.»
#7 Tobi – Shanklin, Isle Of Wight
«When tiny kitten Tobi came into Misha’s life when she was 10 years old, he was the glimmer of hope she needed. During a traumatic childhood, Misha suffered serious mental health issues, attempted suicide, and was taken into foster care at 15. Throughout it all, it was Tobi who became her rock – a friend she could always depend on no matter how difficult life was. Having insisted on keeping Tobi in foster care, Misha clung to her faithful friend for companionship and comfort, helping to heal her emotional scars. With Tobi by her side, Misha went from strength to strength, and the pair eventually moved into a home of their own. Now 26, Misha continues to credit Tobi with turning her life around and is helping him cope with his own challenges after he was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2019. She said: ‘I’m now an adult and to this day Tobi has been my rock, best friend, and soul mate because I know for sure I would never have made it this far without him. Now Tobi has been diagnosed with kidney disease, it’s my turn to be strong for him, and it breaks my heart. Every Christmas and birthday are a blessing and I am grateful every day for the love, friendship, and security he has given me for most of my life. He gave me the unconditional love, comfort, and affection that I needed as a little girl.’»
Here’s what the winners of this contest will receive: «Winners receive a trophy, a £100 pet store voucher, a year’s subscription to Cats Protection’s The Cat magazine, and three months’ supply of PURINA® cat food.»
#8 Nala – Seaham, County Durham
«Teenager Olivia Usher was just 17 when she hit rock bottom. Years of mental health issues had culminated in a diagnosis of psychosis, with Olivia tormented by hallucinations and negative thoughts. The traumatic symptoms became unbearable and during her lowest point, Olivia attempted to take her life. Desperate to help, a friend suggested adopting a pet, prompting Olivia and her dad to take a trip to a local rescue center. There she met Nala, an eight-month-old kitten who had been abandoned on the streets. The bond was immediate, and Olivia couldn’t hold back the tears as she realized she’d met her best friend. Within days of Nala’s arrival, Olivia began to take the first steps towards recovery. Intuitive Nala would begin to sense when Olivia was suffering a psychotic episode – when she may become consumed with negative thoughts and ideas – and help pull her back to reality. Olivia explained: ‘When I have an episode, I lose grip of what’s real, but Nala will come and nuzzle up to me. It helps bring me back and remind me what’s real. The feel of her fur and the sound of her purr helps to calm me and bring me back.’ Now three years on, Olivia has gone from strength to strength and is now studying computer science at university.»
#9 Boris – Blackheath, London
«Boris had always been a much-loved pet for Alex Tullis and his daughter Caroline. But when Alex, 80, suffered a catastrophic stroke in 2015, it was Boris that kept him going. Desperately ill in intensive care, Alex would talk about Boris, and it became clear to nurses that he was determined to overcome the challenges to return home. After three months in hospital, and although still severely disabled, Alex was overjoyed to be discharged and reunited with Boris. But just four months later, the family was dealt another blow when Boris suffered a massive head injury after being hit by a car. Clinging to life, Alex and Caroline knew they had to give Boris a chance, and he received specialist veterinary treatment. Although he lost an eye and developed epilepsy, Boris made a good recovery and was soon back home with Alex and Caroline. Caroline said: ‘Dad is now confined to bed, and Boris is a wonderful company for him. He provides so much comfort and companionship and brings great joy into Dad’s life. Boris has always been there for Dad, so when he was in need we didn’t hesitate to give him all the care he needed to get better. They make a great pair, and it’s lovely to see them together.’»

#10 Mikey – Southend-On-Sea, Hampshire
«Jessica’s whole world crumbled around her in July 2017 when her first child, a baby boy, was stillborn. With partner Connor required to return to his Army posting shortly after, Jessica began to shut herself off from family and friends. While the grief was unbearable, Jessica was also suffering physically and needed hospital treatment for high blood pressure. Out of the blue, a friend telephoned and mentioned a former stray cat in need of a home. Jessica didn’t hesitate and took Mikey in. Life on the streets had been hard for Mikey and he had needed an eye removed after developing a painful abscess. Immediately, Jessica and Mikey formed a close bond, and as Jessica helped to nurse Mikey back to full strength, he began to help ease the pain of grief. With Mikey by her side to care for, the darkness began to lift and Jessica started to venture out of the house. Jessica’s counselor noticed how much calmer and more able to speak she’d become, helping her get more out of the sessions. Four years on, and while her first son will always be loved and remembered, Jessica and Connor now have another addition to their family – a son named Jenson.»
#11 Simba – Colne, Lancashire
«When vet practice manager Liz heard about a tiny stray kitten brought in with horrific injuries, she didn’t hesitate to offer him a home. Having sustained a broken jaw, hip, and pelvis – possibly after being hit by a car – little Simba was nursed back from death’s door. A week later – and coincidentally on son Ben’s 16th birthday – Liz took Simba home to continue his recovery. But the family’s initial joy over the new addition was cut short when Liz’s husband Paul – Ben’s stepdad – was admitted to hospital with complications following cancer treatment. As the family’s world crumbled and Liz spent each day at her husband’s bedside, teenager Ben was left at home with Simba. Over the following weeks, the tiny kitten was to become everything to Ben – something to care for, a friend during the lonely days, and a ray of sunshine in moments of distress. Tragically, Paul died eight weeks later. In the darkest of days, Simba came to mean more than ever to Ben as he struggled to cope with losing his stepdad. Liz said: ‘Simba had a tough start in life, but has turned out to be the soppiest cat I’ve ever known. He’s so affectionate, and during the toughest of times, I knew Ben was not alone as Simba was always by his side. I don’t know how we would have got through everything without Simba.’ Nearly two years on, Ben is studying economics at university.»
#12 Dixie – Mallorca, Spain
«When Erin found an abandoned cat on the streets, she knew she couldn’t turn her back. Naming him Dixie, Erin gave him a home, plenty of TLC, and a second chance in life. Soon after, and as Dixie settled in, Erin was overjoyed to find she was pregnant. But tragically, nearly halfway into the pregnancy, she lost her baby. The loss was devastating, and with countless friends and family members welcoming new babies, Erin began to feel increasingly alone in her grief. Falling into depression, Erin struggled to see a future and began shutting herself away. A move to Scotland was meant to be a fresh start but instead became more isolating. Sometime after moving, Dixie was to suffer terrible injuries in a suspected road accident and needed to have a leg amputated. Seeing her beloved pet in such pain, Erin suddenly found a new purpose in life – helping Dixie recover and adjust to life on three legs. She said: ‘It was a horrible time, of course, but it made me realize that throughout all the tough times, Dixie had been there for me. I knew it was my turn to be there for him. It was enough to make me seek help to pull me out of my depression, and slowly we began to heal together.’»

Empresario y productor de cine Dhar Mann acusado de pagar menos de lo debido a actores vitales en videos tremendamente exitosos
Dhar Mann, el creador detrás de un gran imperio de videos compuesto por personas influyentes y actores de TikTok que se utilizan para mostrar lecciones sociales, aparentemente acaba de aprender una lección propia.
Esta semana, varios de los actores que han aparecido en numerosos videos de gran éxito para la productora Dhar Mann Studios se han presentado y lo han acusado de supuestamente pagar menos de lo debido a todos los miembros de su personal, y se han subido varios testimonios en video sobre cómo es trabajar. para él.

A medida que la controversia continuó en los últimos días, esta reacción se convirtió en una protesta de los trabajadores, y algunos de los actores y actrices se negaron a trabajar hasta que mejoraran las condiciones.
Esto también ha llevado a que se realicen numerosas publicaciones en las redes sociales sobre la «cancelación» de Dhar Mann, a lo que respondió en una larga publicación de Instagram a la que se eliminaron los comentarios poco después de publicarse.
Entre las publicaciones que piden su cancelación, el tema predominante se centra en gran medida en la naturaleza irónica de que Mann tenga múltiples videos sobre jefes que maltratan a sus trabajadores, pero que lo acusan de la misma acción como si no fuera consciente de sí mismo.

El Seguro Social verá muchos cambios este año, muchos de ellos relacionados con el mayor ajuste por costo de vida (COLA) en más de 40 años. El nuevo COLA afectará los pagos a los beneficiarios del Seguro Social, pero no es el único cambio que verá en 2023.
Seguro social: ya sea que tenga 62, 65, 67 o 70 años, he aquí por qué importa su edad
Más: 3 formas de hacer que su jubilación sea a prueba de recesiones
Los siguientes son seis cambios al programa que están vigentes este año, según una hoja informativa publicada recientemente por la Administración del Seguro Social.
Nuevo COLA entra en vigor
La gran noticia para 2023 es un aumento del 8,7 % en el COLA del Seguro Social, que es el más alto desde un aumento del 11,2 % en 1981. El fuerte aumento del COLA este año se debe a la tasa de inflación vertiginosa, que también es la mayor en 41 años. .
El pago mensual promedio del Seguro Social para todos los trabajadores jubilados aumentó a un estimado de $1,827 desde $1,681, dijo la SSA, una ganancia de $146 por mes.
Para cualquier persona que reciba beneficios del Seguro Social, la nueva cantidad de pago comenzó en enero de 2023. Para aquellos que reciben Seguridad de Ingreso Suplementario (SSI), las nuevas cantidades de pago comenzaron el 30 de diciembre de 2022.
Una cosa a tener en cuenta: el COLA 2023 del 8.7 % no se aplicará a todos los beneficiarios del Seguro Social. Algunos aumentos de pago serán superiores al 8,7 % y otros serán inferiores debido a una variedad de factores, incluido el monto de su seguro primario (PIA) y el momento en que se inscriba en Medicare. La SSA debería haber enviado avisos de COLA a los beneficiarios proporcionando detalles sobre los nuevos montos de pago.
Aumento de los umbrales de discapacidad del Seguro Social
La SSA paga beneficios mensuales a las personas que no pueden trabajar durante un año o más debido a una discapacidad y, por lo general, los beneficios continúan hasta que los beneficiarios pueden volver a trabajar de manera regular. Sin embargo, también hay casos en los que podría tener una discapacidad calificada incluso si todavía está trabajando, como si no puede hacer el trabajo que hacía anteriormente debido a su condición médica. En este caso, solo es elegible hasta una cierta cantidad de ingresos. Cuando pasa ese umbral, no se puede considerar que tiene una discapacidad calificada. Los siguientes son los cambios de umbral para 2023, en función de los ingresos mensuales promedio:
| 2022 | 2023 | |
| no ciego | $1,350/mes | $1,470/mes |
| Ciego | $2,260/mes | $2,460/mes |
| Período de trabajo de prueba (TWP) | $970/mes | $1,050/mes |

Aumenta el estándar de pago federal de SSI
Los beneficiarios del Seguro Social que también califican para los beneficios de Seguridad de Ingreso Suplementario (SSI, por sus siglas en inglés) han visto un aumento en los montos máximos de pago del SSI federal en 2023, con base en el COLA del 8,7 %. Para personas individuales, el estándar aumentó a $914 por mes desde $841 en 2022. Para parejas, el pago aumentó a $1,371 por mes en 2023 desde $1,261 en 2022.
Aumento en los beneficios máximos para los trabajadores que se jubilan a la plena edad de jubilación
Los estadounidenses que se jubilan a la plena edad de jubilación, ya sea a los 66 o 67 años, dependiendo de cuándo nacieron, vieron un aumento en sus beneficios máximos este año. El máximo aumentó a $3627 por mes en 2023 de $3345 por mes en 2022.
Las ganancias imponibles máximas aumentarán para aquellos que todavía trabajan
Cualquiera que haya recibido un cheque de pago sabe que parte de ese cheque se retiene para pagar los impuestos del Seguro Social. Hay un límite en la cantidad de sus ingresos anuales que pueden ser gravados por el Seguro Social, denominado ingresos máximos imponibles. Ese límite aumentó a $160,200 en 2023 desde $147,000 en 2022.
Cambio en las cantidades exentas de la prueba de ingresos
El Seguro Social retiene los beneficios si sus ganancias superan cierto nivel y si no ha alcanzado la edad plena de jubilación (FRA). Esto se llama la cantidad exenta de la prueba de ganancias de jubilación. De acuerdo con la SSA, se aplica uno de los dos montos exentos diferentes: un monto menor en los años anteriores al año en que alcanza FRA y un monto mayor en el año en que alcanza FRA.
Si tiene menos de la plena edad de jubilación, el monto exento de la prueba de ingresos aumentó a $1,770 por mes en 2023 de $1,630 por mes en 2022. Si alcanzó la FRA, el monto aumentó a $4,710 por mes en 2023 de $4,330 en 2022.

La NBA tendrá paz laboral en los próximos años.
La liga y sus jugadores llegaron a un acuerdo la madrugada del sábado sobre un nuevo contrato colectivo de siete años, anunció la NBA. Todavía está pendiente de ratificación, aunque es casi seguro que ese proceso no es más que una formalidad.
El acuerdo comenzará este verano y durará al menos hasta la temporada 2028-29. Cualquiera de las partes puede optar por no participar; de lo contrario, durará hasta 2029-30.
Entre los detalles, según una persona familiarizada con las negociaciones que habló con The Associated Press: el torneo de temporada que el comisionado Adam Silver ha querido durante años se hará realidad, y los jugadores tendrán que aparecer en al menos 65 juegos para poder ser elegible para los principales premios individuales como el Jugador Más Valioso. La persona habló bajo condición de anonimato porque ni la liga ni la Asociación Nacional de Jugadores de Baloncesto dieron detalles al público.
Otra parte nueva de la CBA será un segundo nivel de impuesto de lujo que, cuando se alcance, evitará que los equipos usen su excepción de nivel medio para fichar jugadores. Ese fue un compromiso claro, dado que algunos equipos querían el llamado «límite superior de gasto» que esencialmente habría instalado un techo absoluto sobre lo que se puede gastar cada temporada y ayudaría a equilibrar el campo de juego entre los equipos que están dispuestos a pagar enormes facturas de impuestos y los que no lo son.
No en la CBA hay un cambio en la política que permitiría a los jugadores de secundaria ingresar al draft de la NBA. Se discutió y ha sido un elemento de la agenda durante meses, pero no cambiará en el corto plazo, probablemente no durante al menos el término del próximo CBA.
«También apreciamos que hay muchos beneficios en tener realmente veteranos que puedan traer a esos jóvenes de 18 años», dijo la directora ejecutiva de NBPA, Tamika Tremaglio, en febrero durante una conferencia de prensa de NBPA en el fin de semana All-Star. «Entonces, ciertamente, cualquier cosa que consideremos, para ser honestos, tendría que incluir un componente que permitiera a los veteranos ser parte también».
Silver dijo el miércoles, al final de una reunión de dos días de la Junta de Gobernadores, que tenía la esperanza de llegar a un acuerdo para el fin de semana. También dijo que no se había considerado, al menos por parte de la liga, retrasar la fecha de exclusión por tercera vez.
El CBA actual, que entró en vigencia el 1 de julio de 2017, vino con una opción mutua para que la NBA o la NBPA optaran por no participar después de seis temporadas, el 30 de junio de este año. Originalmente, las partes tenían como fecha límite el 15 de diciembre para anunciar su intención de ejercer la opción de exclusión, luego la pospusieron hasta el 8 de febrero y luego hasta el viernes.
La liga y el sindicato continuaron hablando después de que pasó la fecha límite de exclusión de la medianoche, y se anunció un acuerdo casi tres horas después.
El acuerdo no pone fin al proceso, aunque obviamente es un gran paso adelante.
Los propietarios tendrán que votar sobre lo que los negociadores han elaborado, y los jugadores también tendrán que votar para aprobar el trato. Luego viene la redacción real del documento: el CBA más reciente registró alrededor de 600 páginas que contienen casi 5,000 párrafos y 200,000 palabras. Gran parte será igual; mucho de esto necesitará ser revisado.
