housefire kills 100 cats

[DrLeftover]

A woman who dedicated her life to the care of homeless cats suffered a terrible blow Tuesday morning when a fire tore through her San Jose home and killed about 100 cats in her care.

Carole Miller, who founded the Stanford Cat Network and housed many of the cats in her home, survived the blaze by curling into the fetal position in a backyard enclosure on Polvadero Drive. Her rescue dog, Bunny, also survived, along with seven cats.

But Fire Capt. Chief Reggie Williams said the majority of the remaining cats -- numbering nearly 100 -- died in the fire.

You know, at first glance I thought the topic title was "housewife kills 100 cats"
... a fire is still horrible though. Poor kitties.

Very sad and tragic story. My heart goes out to this woman who lost a large part of her "family". Glad she, her dog and seven cats were able to get out safely.

That's horrible.

A 100 cats though... you'd be covered in cats all the time...
