When a group of
children at the port town of Marsala spotted the one-month-old
cat floating in the sea, having apparently breathed his last, a
patrolling officer dived in to save him.
Massaging the kitten's chest, murmuring encouragement and using
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation just as they would on a human,
officers managed to coax signs of life and eventually a weak
miaow from the soaking animal.
Port authorities were so touched they decided to adopt the
kitten, naming him "Charlie".
