British beauty KATE BECKINSALE almost didn’t attend the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards - because her pet cat caught fire. The actress was preparing for the awards ceremony on Sunday night when her cat, Clive, became engulfed in flames after burning himself on a candle. But Beckinsale did eventually make it to the awards with husband Len Wiseman to present Alec Baldwin with his award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series in 30 Rock. She tells People.com, “Our cat caught fire on a candle. As I was getting ready, there was like ‘whoosh’ a fireball and he went up like a rocket. “(The cat) is fine. He had no idea. It was awful.”
While I’m glad her cat’s okay, I wonder if she actually debated: “Oh dear, my feline friend has gone up in flames! Should I still go to the awards show?” Most likely, she told her maid to just keep Clive under the cold water til he stops smoldering and if worse came to worse; fajitas tonight!!
