Almost good enough to be promoted to dog:

Steve and Lana Waniger’s family slept in the basement Sunday night to escape the heat, but they had no idea how hot it would get.
Around 5:30 a.m., their cat, Persnickety, woke up daughter Heather, 16. She walked up the steps to the kitchen area and noticed heavy smoke before waking her parents and brother Alex, 14.
“We got the hell out,” Steve Waniger said. “Ten minutes after we left the house, flames started to shoot out of the roof.”
