I don't even want to think about something like that happening. It would
be so hard to be alive and my babies dead. Just thinking about it gives me
shivers. I would go back in until all were out. I have a plan, carriers
for all 7 and I have an Astro van which will easily hold all of us. I
would hate to loose my possessions, but they can bereplaced and my first
concern is my babies. Hope this never happens to anyone else again.

My father even burned his corneas trying to save the cats (was OK in the

wall-to-wall carpet with no floor under it anymore....But he still kept
trying. Another great idea is to use pillowcases in any emergency -
that's
always around!
BTW - horses do the same when a barn is on fire; they run back.

What a terrible story!
This is a lesson I learned from a friend of mine. Her house was on fire
and
she grabbed her cat and took him outside but he ran back inside and died
in
the fire. God forbid any of you ever have to rescue your cats from a
burning house, but cats will always run back inside because this is the
place they feel safe. Always put your cats in carriers or in your car
outside your home. With 13 cats this would have been terribly difficult
for
your parents, but if there are only one or two cats this can be done.
