The other day my building’s fire alarm went off, and it wasn’t a test lol I spent 5 minutes chasing Mickey with a towel to get him in the carrier and then hustled downstairs to hang with all the other resident cats in their carriers.
Took about half an hour, but it turns out the cafe they’re putting in downstairs on the street, they’re doing renos, tripped it accidentally. No actual fire.
We got back upstairs and Mickey promptly nipped my ankles and calves, until I plied him up with a tube treat mixed with some dry treats.
I don’t think Mr Woof would go well in an appartment, but in a house he’s great - he self-evacuates to the back yard every time there is a noise he doesn’t like. Which includes smoke alarms, blenders, crockery clinking… He evacuates multiple times a day when I’m home!
Miss Meow would be a problem if she gets scared and goes into hide mode. She’s black and can melt into shadows, there is a good chance I wouldn’t be able to find her in an emergency.
The fluffy one would be easy, he’d be under the bed. The dilute torti could be anywhere, and she blends in so is really difficult to spot. The black one would be up high, hopefully I could reach her and the dog… well she’d be barking at my feet.
I went to a burger place next to a building doing am evacuation one time. All these people came oit together with their pets and then there was this one guy with his golf clubs

This is him afterwards
I have 3 cats and a hyperactive jack russell… I’d be fucked getting them all out in a hurry.

My dog would push me out the way to get out first.
Are they all friends?
Mostly… the torti is a bitch though…

That guy had his priorities straight! His place burned down, can’t a man golf? 😂
I hope it was a time of reflection for him looking at all the couple with their pets, and then him looking at his clubs
I’d have Gibson in one hand and my favourite guitar in the other lol
He spent a lot of money on those golf clubs.
And it would only take a couple of googly eyes on the bag to turn it into a pet.
He was the first one down as well, but golf clubs are easier to wrangle than a dog
