OMG. I almost wish I hadn't read this. What a horrible story. I've never been involved in a fire in my life and if a fireman wouldn't go in to save my furkids, I'd go in myself. I'd probably do that first anyhow and not wait. But they were elderly and disabled. Those people that didn't help have no soul. Fortunately, I've been experiencing more and more men liking cats. Time was when the so-called men that I met up with hated cats. But different ones from the handy man to the house painters to the cable guy all like and have cats. And they've all told me that they were rescues, too, and that they never thought they'd like a cat but they do. When the furniture delivery men came to my house, one of them just went nuts over my fur posse, especially Puddy because of her coloring and markings. Goddess forbid if I ever hear of anyone doing harm to ANY animal and they live w/in close promiximity of me. I will be their worst nightmare.
