That's good that the cat was saved. It's a shame that a few didn't survive.

Mouth To Meow-th: Firefighter Revives Cat
Feline Rescued From Burning Apartment
Posted: 7:39 pm CDT September 10, 2008
New Bedford, Mass. -- A lucky cat owes one of its nine lives to a Massachusetts firefighter who revived it with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
The firefighter rescued the cat from a burning apartment Tuesday, telling The Standard Times of New Bedford that he saw immediately that it needed air. He began performing mouth-to-mouth on the animal as he carried it outside.
No humans were injured in the fire.
Two other cats died in the second-floor apartment, but two dogs there were saved with the help of oxygen from paramedics and animal rescue personnel. Pets on the other two floors, including a ferret and even some frogs on the first floor, were all saved.
Authorities said a man and woman whose last known address was the building that burned were arrested and charged with arson.
