Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door.When Pilar opened her eye,she saw that her bedroom was filling with smoke.As she escaped her house with Inti in her arm,she saw that a fire was blazing in her kitchen.Pilar could easily have lost consciousness from breathing in the smoke,but Inti would not let that happen.Even though Inti could have escaped the house through a cat door,he wouldn't leave Pilar.A fireman at the scene said,"Without question,that cat is responsible for saving his owner's life.He should be honored as a hero.
