The voice we use for our cat talking is British and he
says mother and father. This is too funny!

Is it just me, or does that cat look slightly PINK??
/u/Warm-Definition6794
So the pink you see is the fire truck lights reflecting
onto him he is not pink lol

Cat rescued or arsonist caught?

By now, dude is already on the r/legalcatadvice looking
for a pawyer.

Laughed to hard at this lol

I have an orange Maine coon looking thing catch his
flowey tail on fire... twice. We all lived both time.
Minimal damage but a fluffy cat with 1/2 tail floof
missing is quite the sight
/u/Cow_Launcher
Used to have a Norwegian forest cat who liked to sit on
the side of the bath while I was bathing. He'd get upset
at me being in the water, so his big floofy tail tail
would flick around in agitation.

Inevitably, that tail would eventually end up flicking
into the bath water and get soaked.

The outrage and sheer chaos that followed was a sight
to behold. He would literally climb wallpaper trying to
run away from his own tail.

My girlfriend 40 years ago had a ginormous deaf white
kitty. he was a dead ringer for Jabba.

Cat's the size of a small car. Good thing firefighters
work out or he'd not be able to lift him/her
/u/securitycat69
dammit hooman put me down, i will not stand for this
indignity!
/u/Mtndrums
The poor cat thinks it got abducted by aliens.

Look at that tail! Poor baby
/u/EbbVisible
This is what I came here for!

Poor bb either mid meow or panting heavily from fear!!!

The cat says "I was sleeping, what the heck happened'.
/u/IChurnToBurn
Poor cat finally found a warm spot to nap.
/u/AfricaDeer
Woken up from a deep nap and immediately drafted into a

Correction, Firefighters apprehend the culprit and they
just don't know it yet. But the culprit's poker face
isn't very good...
/u/forgot_my_useragain
I had a house fire in July. I tried to get Fiona before
I got out but the smoke was starting to fill up and she
was hiding under a table I just couldn't get to. After
the firefighters put the fire out they found her hiding
under my bed and brought her out to me. We're oh okay
but she was absolutely freaked out. Firefighters rock
though.

/u/forgot_my_useragain
Thanks! Thankfully it wasn't catastrophic but we're
living in a hotel for a few months til we can get back
in. She's been pretty good here considering all that has
happened. I bought her a crazy new tunnel and some new
toys and keep her entertained lol.
/u/Proglamer
Come on, you gotta wash the cat - it obviously cannot
lick away the soot from its head ;P

That's what I thought of too. Holding the cat like a
trophy. But if I was the owner, I would be extremely
grateful, even if the cat is not.

Sure, the revolution had some brutal moments, but you
have to understand the thousands of years of oppression
that led up to it
/u/ashurbanipal420
Gender reveals are getting ridiculous.
/u/StormFast524
Thank you for rescuing this kitty. Hope this furbaby has
a forever Loving home to go to.
/u/haileyskydiamonds
He looks well-cared for. I imagine his people will be
glad to retrieve him.
/u/Icedcoffeeee
A little too well cared for lol
/u/RogueKitteh
This would go so hard as a dating profile pic. Way
better than posing with a fish
/u/ComfortablePanda398
I mean, I'm totally smitten with the firefighter. He has
a very sweet humorous look in his eyes.
/u/sunnyd311
For the cat or the firefighter ??
/u/cmikaiti
That is a very healthy boy. I'm very happy with this.
/u/Proof-Bus-5890
looks morbidly obese
/u/jbyrdab
Hard to tell honestly.

Cat is all bunched up because of how he is being held,
he's recoiling and tensed up because he's afraid and his
hair is obviously puffed up for similar reasons.

Honestly it looks like they dried him off with a towel
or cleaned him before they showed him, with how kind of
wet but puffy his hair looks.
/u/xCeeTee-
Turns out the cat started the fire because it wanted
more warmth to sleep in. He would've got away with it
too, if it wasn't for those meddling firefighters.
/u/Warm-Definition6794
This is correct lol this is my cat in the photo yeah
he's a big boy but it's just his breed plus this photo
does not do him justice. Have to mention I was not told
this photo was taken/posted for days after the fire so
that's fun #freepromoiguess. Anyway most of these
comments suck he is happy healthy and overall I think we
should all just be happy he came out okay and is doing
fine now. Thankssss

I read that as piano firefighters 3 times before getting
it right and was confused by the strange title
/u/Impressive_Fee_7123
I totally get it. Pianos are super flammable.
/u/ubiquitous-joe
They specifically fight fires that break out in, on, and
around pianos.
/u/I_lenny_face_you
Sing us a song, you're the piano men...
/u/ALazy_Cat
The national treasure of Denmark, Kim Larsen, made a
song called piano mand. It was a salute to a good friend
of his that died
/u/Global_Ad8018
As a pianist, I LOL'd.
/u/Psyko_sissy23
Piano fires are hard to deal with. They are very well
orchestrated...
/u/puttuputtu
Same here. I was looking for the piano in the picture.
/u/SeaworthinessOk6742
They fight piano fires and only piano fires but damnit,
are they good at their job.
/u/No-Cranberry4396
You're not the only one... In my defence I'm fighting
off a cold and vertigo at the moment
/u/analogkid01
"Jerry Lee, goddammit, now we gotta call 911 again!!"
/u/alcMD
I'm right here with you, trying to piece together in my
head what a piano firefighter is. They rescued him from
a burning piano?
/u/AnyKangaroo8851
Firefighters are heroes as far as I'm concerned.
