A cat is being blamed for causing a fire and explosion at a house in Sheffield.

The family pet is thought to have knocked the hob on, which set fires to items on top including an aerosol can which exploded and smashed through the kitchen window.

South Yorkshire Fire Service say the family and Narla the cat are all ok.
