Althalus Posted July 30, 2002 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2002 BERLIN (Reuters) - A cat has saved several people's lives by alerting them to a fire in a German apartment block before dying in the flames, according to police. The cat's miaowing woke up her owner, a 42-year-old woman, who promptly noticed smoke coming from a room in her apartment in the western city of Essen. She called the fire brigade and alerted the other families in the building. "The cat definitely saved a number of lives," a police spokesman said on Monday. "Some of the residents managed to flee the fire, others were brought to safety with ladders." Two people, including the cat's owner, needed hospital treatment for smoke inhalation. The cat was not named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rae Posted July 31, 2002 #4 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Odin, I didn't catch it at first either. I think I was preoccupied with my children is why I didn't catch it. Then I went back to see if I missed something. The cat did die.

Dakoda Posted August 1, 2002 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Poor kitty, :'( Though I wonder if he was actually warning the owners, or meowing because he was afraid of the fire an wanted to save himself... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
