Talk about a daring escape! A cat scrambled out of a burning hotel in Dauphin, Man., as the building crashed to the ground.

The fire started at around 3 a.m. CT, engulfing the entire hotel. What remained of the charred structure was pulled down by 12:30 p.m.

As the building started to come down, the black-and-white cat was seen perched on a window frame, on the left-hand side of the attached video.
