Cat saves family from fiery death while dog sleeps in peace being useless as usual

[ALonelyDad]

A Portugal Cove-St. Philip's couple is happy their house is intact and they're thanking the feline firefighter that saved them.

Scott White awoke in the early hours of Sunday morning to his cat purring and pacing around the bedroom. The cat, a shelter rescue named Joey, even stood on his chest to get his attention.

White quickly realized something was wrong, and went to the kitchen to find the room filling with smoke from a slow cooker he had set hours earlier.

"We went to bed around midnight and it was fine," White said of the Crock-Pot. "And then it wasn't fine when Joey found it."

White turned off the pot before it became a full-on fire, and could rest easily knowing his cat had his back.

Joey was adopted from a rescue group in Toronto about 2½ years ago. He came from a shelter in Quebec where cats are euthanized.

He's not the only pet in the house, however.

White's 10-month-old puppy — who they had believed to be a solid guard dog — slept in their bed through the entire incident.

"I guess we found out the real hero is the cat," White said.

Joey got a little extra love on Sunday, and White said they'll pay more attention when he acts up next time.

Cat started kitchen fire by knocking plastic wrap onto stove, firefighters say
By Isaac Nowroozi

Emma Rhodes and Brent Lavis say they still love their cat Belle, despite it setting fire to the house.(ABC News: Isaac Nowroozi)
A family cat's early morning antics in an empty kitchen have been blamed for a house fire in Canberra this morning.

Emma Rhodes said she and her daughter woke up to the smoke alarm about 6:15am.

"I saw smoke and I absolutely panicked because my three-year-old was asleep and it was so thick," Ms Rhodes said.

"You couldn't see through it at all."

Ms Rhodes grabbed her young child and fled outside, where she called triple-0.

When firefighters arrived at the home in Richardson in Canberra's south they extinguished the small blaze and found the cause — Belle the black cat.

"It turned out that the cat had knocked the roll of cling wrap onto the stove and stepped on the ceramic cooktop and it had turned it on," Ms Rhodes said.

The blaze was contained to the kitchen.(ABC News: Isaac Nowroozi)
Ms Rhodes said it was a touch-sensitive stovetop, which was primed to heat up when something was placed onto it.
