Cat Starts Fire, Raises Alarm, Saves Family
Tue Oct 22, 9:41 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - A cat saved its family by raising the alarm after it touched off a fire, German police said on Monday.

Mimi the black-and-white cat was playing in the family kitchen in the northwest town of Luedenhausen when a misstep switched on an electric oven, which ignited papers stacked next to it.

But Mimi then awoke the family by miaowing loudly and pushing heavy objects on the floor.

"Mimi saved the family. There would have been a major fire had she not raised the alarm," a police spokesman said.

By communion with God in nature, the mind is uplifted, and the heart finds rest.  {DA 291.1}
