The police in Columbus Ohio received a phone call on Thursday evening by resident named Gary Rosheisen on Thursday evening four months ago. The police found it suspicious that no one was on the telephone line, the police came to the home of Gary's home to check on what was going on inside the home of Gary when they arrived they found Gary's cat Tommy sitting next to the telephone. The police found out that Gary may have fell down due to a ministroke and passed out. The police concluded that Tommy the cat made the phone call since Gary had trained his cat to make phone calls after Tommy was adopted him. A very clever owner of a cat that trained his pet to call for help when Gary was not able to call for help since Gary or wearing a device to call for help. Cats can be heroes too.

Incredible! I have heard of parrakeets doing that but never a cat.

That's amazing. I can't imagine a cat doing that. Usually when cats rescue people they wake them up because they smell smoke or gas or something. Never heard of that

That's pretty unusual. Cats might be as clever as dogs maybe but not as willing to let themselves be trained.

That is very true that cats are known for selecting their friends compared to dogs.

This story touched my heart! So actually, Tommy got his owner help when he need it:) This is amazing, how a cat can learn how to do something so heroic!

@kobesbuddy Same with me learning that dogs have saved lives but seldom cats are known for saving lives of their owners.

@Deepizzaguy I've heard of dogs saving their owners life, but never a cat.

That's great he taught the cat to call 911. I'm glad the police checked it out and Gary got the help he needed.

The training must have been spot on, as otherwise, the cat might have called the local McDonalds instead, and it knew which number to call for the Police. The Police responded too, which might not always be the case, if they thought the call was just a hoax call, because nobody spoke to them.

That is true about the police could have acted that the phone call could have been a hoax.

That's amazing. It's hard to teach a cat to do anything. Kudos to the cat.

There are few instances, Cats becoming heroes. I recollect one instance, cat saving a kid's life from Pitbull. It is good that the owner had trained cat for these kind of situations.
