Cat called 911 to help ill owner, police say

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — 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.

Little Girl's Cat Attacks Would-be Child Rapist

In Lansing, Michigan in 2002, a little girl's cat saved her from a would-be rapist. The 7-year-old girl was on unfamiliar neighbor Wulfrido Lopez's lawn holding her cat when he lured her into his home, cat and all. Lopez duct-taped the girl's mouth, but when he tried to remove her pants, the cat sprang into action. The surprise cat scratch disarmed Lopez long enough to allow the little girl to escape. Lopez was later charged with assault with intent to penetrate, kidnapping and child enticement.

If I'm in bed and someone knocks at my door, she will get on the end of the bed and growl! (Saturday mornings I get a lot of church goers wanting to "Witness" to me.) Don't F*** with an attack cat!
