Nominee for "Cat of the Year in Britain"

The heroic cat, nicknamed Smudge, can be awarded the "Cat of the Year of Britain" award. The pet saved the 5-year-old son of his mistress from hooligans. The incident occurred in the city of Doncaster, when Ethan Fenton was playing with his younger brother near his house. Three older guys came up to them and started picking on Ethan. After Ethan ignored them and continued to play with Ashton, one of the offenders pushed Ethan to the ground. At that moment, the cat ran out from under the car and attacked the bully, who burst into tears from fright and ran away with his comrades.
