Nine Lives

When my daughter Sarah and her family left their burning house last month, they had no time to pick up the two cats.       After the fire was out, a fireman found one of them in the top shelf of a closet with its little paws burned.   But burn cream is healing him and he is staying with her cousin.    The other one has always been a fraidy cat and hides whenever there is company.    They thought perhaps he was hiding and put out food in the shell of the house but it was never touched.    Eleven days after the fire, a worker with the restoration damage company found him in the basement, hiding.   His fur was singed and he had blood-shot eyes from smoke, but the vet said he is healthy!     His personality was somewhat strange before, and he will probably be really weird after this adventure.
