Goat Starts House Fire, Cat Saves Family

Firefighters say a cat is the hero and a goat is to blame for a house fire that destroyed an Iowa home. The fire was believed to have been started by a goat that knocked over a space heater in an attached shed and it might have been fatal if the cat hadn't awakened the sleeping family. "My cat woke me up and I saw smoke coming out of my fan," John Hadley told KCCI-TV, Des Moines. "I made sure I got her (Hadley's mother) out and then I know she loves her animals, so I rounded all her animals up, and by that point, flames and smoke were everywhere." I'd think twice about not giving the goat what it wants in the future if I were the Hadley family.

I've seen this before, "My HERO CAT saved me!". No, the cat would've fled safely but you had the door locked.

As long as there is a scapegoat no one will suspect the hero...

Interesting

Now I know what Charlie Brown's talking about when he reflects on being "the hero" or "the goat".
