FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - North Texas firefighters have used oxygen on a cat
that was rescued from a burning house after the residents escaped on their
own.

The Fort Worth Fire Department announced Saturday that the pet, named
Stubby, survived.

No humans were hurt in Friday's fire, which heavily damaged a home.
Authorities are trying to determine what sparked the fire.

Lt. Kyle Falkner says firefighters found the cat while trying to bring the
blaze under control. Stubby was extricated but had suffered from smoke
inhalation, so firefighters administered oxygen via a mask.

The cat was taken to a veterinarian for further examination.

Lucky cat! When I first moved to South Carolina I read an article in
the local paper about the county setting aside funds to buy small oxygen
masks specifically for rescued pets.

When I lived in Tennessee I had a big red and silver sticker on my front
door that read, "In case of Fire, please rescue [insert #] cat(s)." All
too often firefighters don't know if there is a pet inside.
