Default Purrs for a Cat, believed to be at the Bridge, and his human

A fire started accidentally yesterday in an apartment building for
seniors and the disabled. Fortunately, the woman in whose apartment the
fire started called the fire department, and she and a number of other
people confined to wheelchairs were rescued by two young men who
happened to be passing by and noticed the smoke. But before the fire
department arrived, the smoke became too thick for them to make further
attempts at rescue - and the cat hasn't been seen since. They
interviewed the poor woman this morning. Really, it's so heartbreaking;
I don't know why the media put people through this. She feels terribly
guilty for having dropped the cigarette that started the fire, and has
lost everything (although the other apartments have smoke damage). She
doesn't have tenant's insurance - a lot of people don't bother or can't
afford it. But most of all, she's grieving for her lost cat. The
rescuers said they had to stop her from trying to get back in the
building when she realized her cat hadn't gotten out.

Purrs for her and her fellow-tenants and the cat - and congratulations
to the young men! You hear so much about young people who get into
trouble; it's inspiring to know that some of them are heroes!

Prayers and purrs going out to the seniors and disabled people
affected by the fire. I'm not giving up hope for the kitty to be
alive quite yet. I've heard cases of cats being so frightened by
traumatizing events such as fires, that they hide and miraculously
survive.

Sorry, but I'm an optimist!

Purrs heading her way - I can only imagine the pain she must be feeling
right now.

Purrs going out to all the tenents and purrs for the cat that it went
quick and did not suffer too much.

There are lots of debates over the anti-smoking laws but I would never
rent in an apartment building that allowed smoking for just this
reason!! Which is more important - one persons right to smoke or
several others lives they might loose or their worldly goods they
might loose because of someone causing a fire from smoking?!?!?

By the way I do smoke myself before someone bring it up. Only a
couple a day but I do smoke.

Purrs heading her way - I can only imagine the pain she must be feeling
right now.

Hugs,

Poor woman. I really hope her cat's OK!
