A resident of the village of Nikolskoye fell asleep with a smoldering cigarette butt in his hand and almost suffocated from the smoke; The villager was saved by a cat. This was reported by the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Saratov Region.
A 62-year-old man fell asleep with an unlit cigarette and a while later, in his sleep, he heard a cat meowing. When he woke up, the pensioner realized the room was smoking; he was able to get out of the house on his own but suffered burns.
The fire destroyed part of the building; Two fire brigades extinguished the fire. It's unclear whether the cat escaped the burning house.
Previously, in Vladimir, a curious cat saved its owner from a viper. The animal senses the presence of a reptile in the apartment. At first, the owners thought it was a mouse or rat. However, the situation was much more serious: a poisonous snake crawled into the house. State Hunting Inspectorate officers responding to the call found a snake under the bedside table in the entryway. She was captured and released into her natural habitat outside the city.
