Instant Cat Celebrity Declines First Pitch Honor Published May 22, 2014 at 6:02 AM EDT Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Listen • 0:28
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep, with a celebrity turn for a cat. Tara the cat saved a California boy from an attack by a dog. Surely, someone thought, a cat that fended off a dog could also
throw the first pitch in a Minor League Baseball game. The Bakersfield Blaze wanted Tara to push a baseball dangling from a fishing line. But that's the deal with cats: The last thing they
ever do is what you tell them.
Tara declined the honor, and the boy Tara saved threw the first pitch instead.
