Cat dials 911
    #5133579 -

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police aren't sure how else to explain it. But when an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911 call, an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living room floor. The cat's owner, Gary Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed having fallen out of his wheelchair.

Rosheisen said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons to call 911.

"I know it sounds kind of weird," Officer Patrick Daugherty said, unsuccessfully searching for some other explanation.

Rosheisen said he couldn't get up because of pain from osteoporosis and ministrokes that disrupt his balance. He also wasn't wearing his medical-alert necklace and couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that alerts paramedics that he needs help.

Daugherty said police received a 911 call from Rosheisen's apartment, but there was no one on the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out.

That's when Daugherty found Tommy next to the phone.

Rosheisen got the cat three years ago to help lower his blood pressure. He tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the training ever stuck.

The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons ? including a speed dial for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone.

"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.

I don't know man, that story is entirely feasible. I don't see why you shouldn't believe it. Cats are smart animals, besides he only had to press 1 button since 911 was on speed dial.

Since when can you train a cat to dial 911 in an emergency.

:wtf:

Probably since you could train a dog to lead a blind person.

Animals are a lot smarter than you give them credit for.

I bet this article is going to cause a rise in people training their cats to do household tasks, like cleaning. Oh man...that would be so cool.

Shit if I could get my dog to do my laundry I'd be set. I just don't see that happening due to the lack of opposable thumbs.

Interestingly, this exact same thing happened some time ago in Florida. The owner was absent, and the cat was choking on it's own collar, and the rest is history.

I heard that on the news, I dunno, I think it could be true.

I had a cat that could use the remote for the tv...so I guess it could use the phone if it had to....

I belive cats are smarter than humans, they just choose to not answer us. Maybe that cat decided to be nice.

My cat goes up to the sink all of the time and turns the handle on to drink from the tap.. I dunno how he got to doing that. I've heard stories of cats using the toilet and flushing it lol... That would feel weird, sharing a toilet with a cat. :confused:
