FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – A 4-month-old kitten saved a Farmington Hills couple and their two children from carbon monoxide that was silently spreading through their home in the middle of the night.

On Aug. 30, the home of Heidi and Ronald Stamper lost power due to a storm, so they used a portable generator in their garage to keep some of their appliances running.

Before the couple and their two children -- 13-year-old Paige and 11-year-old Quinn -- went to sleep, the garage door accidentally got closed while the generator was on.

As a result, the family became exposed to deadly carbon monoxide gas while they slept, officials said...

Thank goodness it all worked out well for them. This could have had such a tragic ending.

During the night, the family’s kitten, Thor, woke up Heidi with a loud cry, officials said. The cat was visibly sick, so she took him outside. Thor’s condition improved outside, but when Heidi brought him back in, she lost consciousness, according to authorities. Thor continued screeching, which woke up Paige and Quinn. The children got their semi-conscious parents out of the house, officials said. [snip] All four family members survived, and Thor is being credited with saving their lives.
