The Resume

    (circa 1995-October 11, 2008)

    She may have been living in a crack house that caught on fire.
    One of her kittens died a month later.
    She inspired countless journalistic platitudes about how animals can be better parents than humans.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Despite her injuries, she kept returning to the burning building until all five kittens were saved.

    Several books were written about her.
    The North Shore Animal League created the 'Scarlett Award for Animal Heroism' in her honor.
