A man who fell out of his wheelchair says his cat apparently called 911 for help.

Police received a 911 call from Gary Rosheisen’s apartment Thursday, but there was no one on the line. When they called back and got no answer, they decided to check things out.

In the apartment they found Tommy the cat lying by a telephone on the living room floor.

“I know it sounds kind of weird,” Officer Patrick Daugherty said.

Rosheisen said he got the cat three years ago and tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the training ever stuck.

Well, I guess cats are good for something after all.

That cat's earned some tuna.

[gwyllgi]

Good kitty.

[mattbrand]

How the fuck do you train a cat to do that?

[Jake]

It was actually Baxter calling for some Meow Mix.

[RøcketFrøg]

Why is nobody asking who, or what pushed him out of the wheelchair? Filthy cat.

I think the scenario was more like:

the man took the kitty's paw, forced it to punch the right buttons, lay the phone down wherever the kitty ended up laying down and then he 'pushed' himself off of the chair and 'waited' for help.

Toonces drove the ambulance.

(Ahh, a Toonces joke. My day is complete. Night all!)

my cats would just run their heads into me trying to get attention...man would they be miffed...until rigor mortis set in and I was able to pet them better....

but at least my last moments would be sort of sweet...if not frustrating.

Xander likes to knock over my action figures (especially the preacher ones) to get my attention.

I usually spray him with water along with loud angry cursings which he just proabably thinks is fun and games cause once he starts, he keeps doing it.

It's either head butting or scratching to get my attention...and they seem to love it when I ask them (or yell at them) to stop...
It's just a grand old time for them....



god, I hate them sometimes.

I hear ya. makes me want to punch them... but you know you can't because you'll hurt them... and they KNOW you won't hit 'em.

I tought my cat to dial 411 in the case of a directory assistance crisis.

:lol:

Oh no, I spilled grape juice. Little Sampson, I need to find a drycleaner STAT!

My cat Jonni knows when he does something bad. He stops, stares at you, mews in a long, plaintive fashion, and hops away before you can swat him.

When I hear that mew upon entering a room I know something's fucked up.
