Cats wake owners, save them from house fire
Published: June 12, 2006
ou’ve heard about dogs saving their owners. But what about cats?
That was the case in Tucson when alert cats helped a couple escape their burning mobile home.
The four family cats woke the sleeping couple when the laundry room in the home caught fire.
The couple grabbed three of the cats, ran outside and called 9-1-1.
Sadly, the fourth cat died in the fire.
One of the three remaining cats suffered serious injuries. Paramedics gave the cat oxygen at the scene and the couple took it to a veterinarian, where it later died.
Firefighters were able to contain the flames to the laundry room and kitchen, but the home had considerable smoke damage. Damage was estimated at 70-thousand dollars.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
