The eternal battle of cats vs. dogs is drawing to a close and right now cats have taken a commanding lead, all thanks to one cat.

Witnessing a child being attacked by a dog this brave cat sprang into action and saved the boy. Slick move cats, slick move. We wouldn't have expected anything else, really.

Dogs have been using "man's best friend" as their tag line for years, but cats are holding up signs that say "we're children's best friends." That's a powerful message that's really going to win over the electorate come voting time. Heck, they even have a theme song.
