Cats
A dog would have woke you up, dragged you outside, gone back in called 911, put out the fire himself and then brought out that six pack of Tutankhamun Ale you just bought to celebrate your survival.
Seriously. I hope the cat made it out because he's definately a hero and hero's should have long happy lives even if they've got 9 of them.
