Man Rescues Cat; Cat Saves Man From Fire
Tue Jan 27, 2003 AP


HUDSON, N.H. - A man who rescued a stray cat from the cold got the
favor returned on Sunday when the cat woke him as his house filled with
smoke.

Roland Rioux, 76, who lives alone, fell asleep watching television, but
was jolted awake when the cat, named Munchkin, jumped up and landed on
his chest with all fours.

Rioux was able to get up in time to call the fire department and
evacuate safely.

Rioux put the cat in the garage and in the confusion, Munchkin bolted.
Rioux and his family are asking for help finding the black-and-white
cat.

Fire officials say the fire was probably caused by an electrical
malfunction in the basement.

I hate stories of pets that rescue their owners from sure death and in
return are forgotten, lost, abandoned or left to die.

Today is not your day.
Tomorrow doesn't look good either.
