Pets and Fire safety Thread

[lvpets2002]

Grrrr yes that would have made me mad too.. Now I have Pet Fire Stickers on all doors front & back.. Plus my neighbors all know of my cats indoors & where the carriers are..

What was really irritating is that there were all these men from the building watching me struggling to get two cat carriers UP the stairs and no one offered to help!

A neighbor whose home is in spitting distance of ours caught fire a couple of weeks ago. My mom called me at work to tell me it was on fire. It was all I could do to fight the panic and not run screaming from my work to race home and protect my cats. Sequoia is outside in her kennel when we are at work so unless it is a forest fire she is probably ok. But the cats.....*sigh*

By the time mom called the fire department had the fire under control so I didn't need to go home but I still was just shaking the rest of the day. Unfortunately our neighbor lost her cat Peaches in the fire. She went to her safe place in the laundry room but the smoke got her. Peaches's mom wasn't home when the fire started so she wasn't there to save her. She was a beautiful long haired white cat with a calico tail and head. When the firefighters were able to find her she was just black from the soot and smoke. And the fire was contained to the kitchen. The rest of the home just had smoke and water damage. I spent the day at work just shaking and crying. Poor Peaches and her mom Jane.

We have a sticker and the carriers...I have no idea what else to do.
