This is extraordinary

I think it's amazing that he named his two cats Fry and Bender!

That's the other awesome thing. *grin*

Isn't that the best thing ever? I don't know if you saw it, but it was also on I Can Has Cheezburger this morning:

OH!
Awwwwww!
That's marvelous.

I'm amazed those two cats are so calm, letting him carry them. Most cats I know would be too frantic to allow a person to do that. Fry and Bender probably understand that their human wants to get them to safety.

I have a feeling Mr. Smith's story will be told all over the place, and Fry and Bender will be famous!

I'd have to figure out a way to carry four.

I hear ya! If you figure it out, let me know.
I'm already pondering how I'd carry my three.

I'm more paranoid about fire, personally. Adam and I have a thick long rope tied to the base of our second story bedroom window. He wants to eventually try and build a fire escape.
My main concern would be how to safely lower the cats down. I may need to invest in a really big plastic carrier.

ahhh...they kind of look like my pyewacket.

I've always said if I ever had a fire I'd probably die because I was busy catching and heaving pets out the windows. I can't imagine getting out of the house and NOT searching for idiot fur covered children first.

Ditto.
I told my husband he'd need to drag me out of a burning house because I'd want the cats out first.
