A heroic cat could win an award after rescuing his five-year-old owner from bullies who pushed him to the ground as he played with his younger brother.

The moggy named Smudge pounced on the chest of one of the boys after he saw frightened Ethan Fenton being pushed to the ground outside his home in Doncaster.

The boy and his friends were so shocked by the tabby cat’s actions that they ran away crying leaving Ethan and his two-year-old brother Ashton alone.

Mother Sharon Fenton, 26, who witnessed the attack said: ‘I was keeping an eye on the boys who were playing football in the front garden.

‘I saw three boys who were much taller and older than Ethan walk over to our front gate.

What the hell is a 'moggy'?

Moggy is the Britishism for a cat.

It can be used for any cat, but specifically means a Heinz 57 variety cat. In the US it would be called a domestic short hair (or domestic long hair).

The origin of the word moggy has an obscure history.
