Re: Fire
I know people that practice having fire drills. It may sound wierd, but my cats are like children and I wouldn't leave a burning house without them, ever!
I doubt that this will help at all in a real emergency, but both of my cats know to come to me when the smoke detector goes off. It just started when our oven got too dirty and broiling chicken = a little smoke and the alarm going off... both ran to me (dunno why really, lol). So every once in a while I set the alarm off and get tuna so if they come to me, they get a treat. Alarm = treat. It comforts me that I'm doing something in regards to a fire emergency, and I know the cats won't run and hide at the noise. Of course add smoke and flames to it, the "trick" won't be much good, but its better than doing nothing.
