AN ORDINARY cat would have gobbled them up. But Jerry is no ordinary cat. He is being hailed today after saving the lives of three song thrush chicks.

Jerry started meowing so loudly during the night that he woke his owner, Anne Shewring. "He was making such an awful racket that I went down to see what was going on," she said. "There were three little chicks on the lawn and Jerry was looking at them. Most other cats would have eaten them but Jerry seemed to want to protect them."

Mrs Shewring, from Cirencester, Gloucestershire, took the birds to a vet and they're now making progress at a wildlife hospital. "Jerry doesn't do things other cats do, like bring mice into the house," she said. "The chicks would have died if he hadn't found them."

She added: "He deserves a reward. I'll give him a big feed when he comes in this evening. He's a hero cat."
