A cat named after an Egyptian god of the afterlife is the primary suspect in a blaze that has left a family -- and presumably the cat -- homeless.
A little after midnight Sunday morning, Lois Lund was awakened by a loud popping sound in her house on the 1800 block of Kuhn Street in Port Townsend, and followed the noise into her kitchen.
A little after midnight Sunday morning, Lois Lund was awakened by a loud popping sound in her house on the 1800 block of Kuhn Street in Port Townsend, and followed the noise into her kitchen.
It was ablaze.
She extinguished the flames with a garden hose and called East Jefferson Fire-Rescue, which determined the fire had not spread, despite extensive damage to the kitchen and the ceiling.
Fire investigator Kurt Steinbach determined the fire originated from a toaster oven that had been left on, and the culprit was the family's 10-year-old black cat, Osiris.
Lund said Osiris has been acting strangely since a dog came into the house and chased him around and had taken to sleeping on top of the toaster oven.
