New Zealand cat warns owners about blaze with wet paws

Saw this on a New Zealand news site - a moggy awoke his neighbours by wetting his paws in the toilet and walking over his owner's face.

Owners Kate Gatonyi and partner Bevan Garland awoke to find a fire just three metres from their bedroom window.

Kate said Maceo the cat often played with water but had never put his feet in the toilet bowl. He usually just meowed if he wanted to get attention at night, she said.
