I will most definitely second that - I've lost pets and the grief, stress, physical side-effects and time lost from work - or just enjoying life - are immense. There's also, almost always, crippling guilt that this little furry person in your care has come to grief, and it would have been doubly so I imagine in a case like this where they left puss indoors. Thank goodness for compassionate people like you and the fire brigade! This story has made my day, so count up another addition to the nation's wellbeing there! :o)
