Fire officials say ‘fortunately the cat was on top of his game’

MCKEESPORT, Pa. — Fire officials in Pennsylvania are crediting a cat with saving the lives of its owners, who were sound asleep when a fire broke out in their home.

The blaze at 1 a.m. Friday apparently started in the attic of the home in McKeesport, just south of Pittsburgh.

Deputy Fire Chief Tom Perciavalle tells WTAE-TV there were no smoke alarms in the house, but the cat made sure to wake up the couple.

    Great story. My first cat once tried to save me. I was using the self-cleaning feature on my range and it made an awful smell. I had dozed off, but was awaken by my cat meowing incessantly in alarm. I’d like to think she was trying to save me, but really, I think she was trying to get ME to save HER. LOL
