Pet rescue! Mar 3 2003By Steve Johnson, Evening Mail A cat was hailed a hero today after saving the lives of three people when an arson attack filled a Midland home with choking smoke.Flatmates Suzanne Robinson and Claire Bakewell were fast asleep and unaware of the blaze in a shop below their home in Wednesbury Road, Walsall.But the cat, named Bilbo Baggins after the plucky hobbit in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, gently scratched Claire's face and woke her.Both women escaped unscathed, but inhaled a lot of smoke.Firefighters said they would have died in their beds a few minutes laterStudent Suzanne, aged 21, said she and 18-year-old waitress Claire would have perished had it not been for Bilbo."We took in Bilbo about a year ago as a stray and thank God we did, " declared Suzanne."We had a smoke alarm, but it didn't go off and we had no idea there was a fire. But Bilbo obviously smelled the smoke and knew something was wrong and woke Claire by gently scratching at her face."She added: "Claire woke me and our friend Wayne Faulkner, who was sleeping over at the flat, and we got out with moments to spare."We had a very lucky escape thanks to Bilbo."Suzanne said she and Claire were going out to get a new smoke alarm and a tin of juicy salmon for Bilbo who was scared and upset after yesterday's 6am drama.Police were today investigating the arson attack at the Mega Music Centre which sent smoke billowing into the flat above.Station Officer John Kempson, of Walsall fire station, said Suzanne, Claire and 33-year-old Wayne were all given oxygen at the scene and then taken by ambulance to Walsall Manor Hospital."The fire gutted the shop below and caused severe smoke damage to the flat above," he explained. "The three of them certainly had a very lucky escape and got out with minutes to spare."They were woken by the cat and the animal undoubtedly saved their lives."
