Lady dies trying to save her... cat?

I'm sorry to say, I am almost at a loss here. Here it is, almost 11:30 pm pst and I come across something that is so bizare, I had to write about it tonight. Strangely, this story wasn't found directly on CNN, but from a regional link:

LOUISVILLE -- A woman died in a house fire after going back inside to try to save her cat, her neighbors said Thursday morning.

The blaze began shortly before 1 a.m. in the 7500 block of Lake Louisvilla Drive, in Oldham County, WLKY NewsChannel 32's Stephanie Segretto reported.

The couple who lived in the house initially got out safely, but the woman ran back inside as her husband was next door seeking help.

"He came over around 12:30 a.m., pounding on the door, saying, 'Call 911; the house is on fire,'" neighbor Sandy Bonds said. "They were both out at the time, but by the time he got back, she'd gone in to try to get the cat. He tried to help, but couldn't get back in."

The woman was found dead on the second floor, at the top of the stairs. The cat was found in the basement.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the blaze.

Well ain't that just peachy. Here I am complaining about someone using Grand Theft Auto as an excuse to kill some cops, and this lady just blows that out of the water by dying, for her cat...

Can you just imagine what was going through her mind at the time and what part of it ignored common sense...

Thought Process:

FIRE!!! --> Find husband --> Get the hell out!!! --> Oh look, my husband is going to get help. (*MEOW MEOW*) --> OHMIGOD FIFI!!! --> Can't... breath... --> Maybe I shouldn't hav... ... ...

So yeah... Sad as it maybe, this person definitely deserves at least honorable mention in Idiotic-America's Hall of Shame (yeah, whatever, it's nearing 12 am, you come up with a better name).
