What affects us affects cats
Well, I love the way the firefighters from Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue extricated what appears to be a traditional Siamese cat from the centre section of a car wheel. It took them around 45 minutes to chop up the wheel which is pretty impressive. The rescue took place on May 27th in Washington, …
Once again, there is a story about cats being killed in a fire and I always notice that under these circumstances people are rarely killed. The people get out, but the cats don’t. In this instance a cat hotel (boarding cattery) was situated in a mall in Los Angeles. A part of the mall …
NEWS AND COMMENT-SINGAPORE: This is an exceptional firefighter cat rescue story in that, in all, 14 domestic cats were found on the floor in a Housing and Development Board (HDB) apartment which was filled with dense smoke when 20 responders including firefighters entered.

That goes with the territory as these are very traumatic moments for cats. The firefighters are invariably calm going …
I am a fan of firefighter-cat pictures! And this is a very nice one. One of the best. The guys are happy to have rescued a couple of tabby cats from a smoke filled apartment in Perth’s Central Business District. Smoke was seen at the apartment on Milligan Street in morning at about half …
