MASSAPEQUA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A family on Long Island says they survived a fire thanks to their beloved pet. Their Massapequa home went up in flames overnight, but they all got out safely after they were alerted by their cat.


quote:

On Tuesday, workers boarded up what’s left of the home on Gloucester Road. Neighbor David Dash says just after 1 a.m., he realized the home next door was burning. “I started to hear some popping, I started to hear some banging, and then some yelling,” he said. Dash took a photo of the flames on his cell phone, showing how quickly the blaze spread.


Screw the family, let me get some cell phone pics.

quote:

Sadly, the cat named Houdini went missing and is presumed buried amid the rubble. Neighbors say like many others on the block, the family had just finished rebuilding following severe damage from Superstorm Sandy. Now, they plan to start a fund to help the McEvoys rebuild once more, and hope that the cat whose insistent meowing saved the family will somehow safely reappear.


Horrible irony.

ABLE SEACAT SIMON

Able Seacat Simon (his official title), of the Royal Navy’s HMS Amethyst, began his career in 1948 as the Amethyst’s formal ratter. During the time he served, Simon performed his duties so well that he was twice awarded in 1949. The first after a particularly grueling incident with Chinese forces, Simon was awarded an Amethyst campaign ribbon for his valiant service. The next was the Dickin Medal for animal gallantry. Simon is the only cat to have received the Dickin Medal, and when he died, he was buried with full naval honors

This sounds like the name of the lifetime achievement award at the AVNs.
