(With seven cats here, I'll probably succumb to smoke inhalation before rounding up even half of them. Not to mention the literal scaredy one who won't let anyone but the roommate within twenty feet.)
Right there with you. I have a plan in case of fire, which includes the cat, laptop, storage drives, picture boxes, photo albums, & me. I've reenacted the drill in my mind a bazillion times. Of course, the drill doesn't account for the cat hiding after seeing the DREADED, EVIL, BAD THING FROM HELL (more commonly known to non-felines as a cat carrier).
I left the cat in my condo once during an obvious false alarm. One of the alarms in a condo in my complex was ridiculously sensitive to steam from the shower. It went off daily for a week. My bird owner neighbor made me feel ridiculously guilty for letting the cat hide under my bed while I froze outside in my PJs, winter coat, gloves, & boots. I still think the cat would rather stay in the condo with the annoying noise than sit in the cat carrier in the cold for 30 minutes.

Make sure you clean your claw wounds well.

Of course, what you want to ask yourself is, would the cat have saved *you*? *g*
