one of our seven cats should get it

Cat helps human by dialing 911: "David Pescovitz:
Last Thursday, Columbus, Ohio man Gary Rosheisen fell out of his wheelchair and couldn't get up. Fortunately, his cat Tommy called 911. From the Associated Press:

(Police officer Patrick) 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.
