North America is full of furry mammals in the wild that are both big enough and strong enough to take out a human—such as bears, wolves, coyotes, and moose, to name a few. The smaller critters in the wild have learned to defend themselves from becoming prey to these sharp-toothed beasts, but the graceful, mischievous, and oh-so-curious house cat was never born with these instincts. In fact, house cats are defenseless out in the wild and have no natural defense skills apart from a warrior-cry hiss and an arsenal of mean-beans that have never been used for battle. This is where hoomans come in - and thank goodness this heroic trucker was here to be her knight in shining armor!
