I saved this little guy from a cat, luckily I got there before the cat did any damage. I took him inside and put him in a clickclack on a heat cord to calm down, and make sure the cat didn't grab him again straight away. I just took him outside and let him go in the park, opposite direction from where the cat is. What is he?

As we have built the gardens up over the years so have their numbers.
I have them around my turltle pond and some tweezer feed the turtle food,
They get some great blue colouration through the head, looks really nice.
I saw my first hatchling for the season yesterday too,
Well done on saving one from a cat!!
Cheers
