Cat that alerted couple to house fire missing

A couple in the northwestern Chicago suburb of Wonder Lake are searching for a 13-year-old house cat who probably saved their lives during a house fire.

Josh Ornberg and Letitia Kovalovsky say their cat, "Baby," woke them early Monday morning as they slept on a couch in the living room. Ornberg says the house was starting to fill with smoke from a fire in the bedroom.

Ornberg called 911 after he could not put out the fire with a home extinguisher.

The couple, who are expecting twins in about two months, got out of the house safely, as did "Baby" and their dog, but "Baby" disappeared a short time later.

Ornberg says the gray, white and brown tabby is strictly an indoor car, so he hopes she is found soon.
