A kitteh named Sugar survived a 19-story fall from her owner's Boston apartment.

Sugar landed on a small patch of mulch, which helped lessen the impact of the fall. Animal Rescue League of Boston assistant manager Mike Brammer said Sugar's "flying-squirrel"-like ability to glide also helped her survive the harrowing ordeal.

Sugar's hoomin, Brittney Kirk, who was tracked down via a microchip implanted in her cat, says she left the window open so that Sugar wouldn't get too hot. "[I]f there were a cat to fall 19 stories and to be fine, I think it would definitely be Sugar, because she's a pretty special cat," she said.

Special, indeed! Thank goodness kittehs have nine lives!

Members of the Monte Adone Centre for Conservation and Research of Exotic and Wild Fauna rescued a wounded, malnourished wolf from the freezing cold waters of the Limentra in the Italian province of Bologna. They found the wolf, given the name Navarre, partially paralyzed and in an extreme state of hypothermia.

They later learned that Navarre had been shot multiple times with lead pellets, but fortunately these bullets caused no major damage to the wolf's internal organs.

The Centre says that Navarre is beginning to heal and that "day after day [he] demonstrates a strong temperament and an increasing desire to live."

It goes without saying that many of us are jealous of the lives cats lead, but one kitteh, Mr. Wu, takes that idea to its extreme: he lives in a bar! Mr. Wu is a permanent fixture at Cajun Boy, a bar in New Orleans. No one really knows how he came to be a resident of Cajun Boy; what is known, though, is that he walked in the door after Hurricane Katrina, was served some cream, and took it upon himself to never leave. Drink up, kitteh!

SQUEEEEERREL!!!!!! This cute little girl squirrel became injured after falling out of a tree and getting separated from her mama. From The Telegraph:

This baby squirrel suffered injuries to her leg and was separated from her mother when she fell from a tree - and she is not even three weeks old. The grey squirrel, called Violet, endured the ordeal when the branch her nest (known as a drey) was laying on was cut down. Fortunately, the couple cutting down the tree spotted Violet and immediately phoned the Wildlife Aid Foundation for advice on what to do.

LITTLE SQUIRREL, I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON, BUT IN THE MEANTIME I AM GONNA SPLORT OVER YOUR LITTLE SQUIRREL CAST!

A nine-year-old Maine Coon kitty cat is running as an independent candidate for Virginia's open senate seat. According to his website, Let's get politicLOL!

When Amy Jung visited the Door County Humane Society, she wasn't expecting to go home with two kitties. But things don't always go according to plan, and Jung made a decision to adopt two cats, one called Pudding and the other called Whimsy.

Later that night, Jung experienced a seizure while sleeping. Pudding came to her rescue by jumping onto her chest and batting at her face.

"Anything he could to pull me out of it (the seizure)," she said.

With Pudding's assistance, Jung woke up. The convulsions stopped long enough for her to call out to her son, Ethan, for help. When Ethan did not respond, Pudding ran to his room and woke him.

Jung believes Pudding saved her life.

"If something or someone hadn't pulled me out of that, I wouldn't be here," she said.

Three cheers for Pudding!
