Riga, the capital city of Latvia, launched a unique project called "Outdoor cat houses" where 80 tiny homes have been built all around the city in order to help stray cats survive the harsh winter. The wooden houses are built up against apartment buildings, have two exits and can fit up to five cats. All houses were built by a native Latvian master, using donations made to a non-profit local cat organization called Cat Care Community. Big like!

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!

Mia, a beloved one-year-old Belgian Malinois in South Carolina, survived a fire in her house! She was smart enough to open doors and climb into a bathtub in the basement to avoid the fire. Hooray for Mia!
