Why does the cat only get a "perhaps"?

"Perhaps a cat that saved her family from a house fire on Monday night was a hero..."

Doesn't saving several people typically qualify a critter for hero-ness? (We're just assuming that saving people is a good thing here.)

I'd have to agree that she deserves much more than "perhaps." Hmm, wake up my owners, and potentially sacrifice myself in the process...think, think, think...what's a cat to do? Just more evidence that humans are selfish bastards.

The cat probably set the fire. Evil bastard.

Perhaps the owners were running a meth lab, and perhaps the world is better off without them.

As long as we're perhapsing.

Cats are evil. How many evil heros are out there?
