MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Locking yourself out of your car is bad enough, but Jeanna Stewart was even more embarrassed when the culprit was not her, but her cat. The Morgantown resident said she was getting a spare house key out her car's trunk on Monday when her cat Mork, one of three in the car, stepped on the automatic door lock. She couldn't unlock the door because she had left her car keys on the driver's seat. "He wouldn't unlock the door for me," Stewart said Tuesday. "He was standing there, saying why aren't you opening the door? I want to go inside." Stewart went into her house and called the Morgantown Fire Department for help. She said she was mainly concerned about freeing Mork and the other cats, Minday and Alex. "They rescued my three little kitties," Stewart said. "I didn't need a rescue for me, just for them."

My cat Edgar knows exactly how to turn on the electric kerosene heater in my apartment. I have to unplug it before I leave or I will come back to a toasty warm apartment with Edgar and the rest of the gang lounging blissfully in front of it.
