Rescue Cat Saves Family's Home From Massive Fire

SYDNEY — A newly-adopted cat has been credited with saving the home of its new family.

Tilly, a tabby, alerted her owner Matt Clayton to a fire in the roof of the family home in Melbourne, Australia.

Three weeks ago Matt and his family went to rescue an animal from a shelter. There they found Tilly, who was ridden with fleas and a downtrodden mum to four kittens. The decision not to get a much-wanted dog changed his life.

As he was leaving for work later than usual, Tilly refused to move out of his way. Instead she starred at the ceiling, purring repeatedly.
