Anthropomorphism

So many human interest stories have come from the Tsunami disaster. These stories don't really get me going. The variety that I struggle with most are those that attribute random acts to their safety. Yesterday there was a story about all the people who were woken up by their pets shortly before the wave hit. Now I cannot disagree that animals may have some biological sense that may warn them of natural disasters, but then why did any animals die? How many times in a year did Fluffy wake up her master? If you take 1,000,000 people, someone is bound to have been woken up by their cat during the 15 minutes before the wave hit. Why would God direct one person's cat to alert his master but allow another master and their cat to die? Do cats have the ability to be that altruistic? If cats have this great ability to detect impending doom, them why do so many die under the tires of a car?
