Cat Dails 911
January 3, 2006, Columbus, Ohio. When a police officer responded to a 911 call, he found Gary Rosheisen on the floor near his bed, having fallen out of his wheelchair, and his cat Tommy sitting by the phone.
Police said they received a 911 call from Rosheisen's apartment, but there was no one on the phone so they decided to check things out.
Rosheisen said he couldn't get up because of his painful osteoporosis and ministrokes that affect his balance. He also couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that alerts paramedics that he needs help. He said Tommy must have hit the right buttons to call 911.
Tommy has lived with him for three years. He tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the cat actually got it. The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons, with a speed dial for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone.
"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.

Cat Saves Family From Carbon Monoxide
On March 24, 2007, in New Castle, Ind., a gasoline-powered water pump in Eric and Cathy
Keesling's basement caused carbon monoxide to build up in their home. About 1 a.m., their 14-year-old cat named Winnie began jumping on their bed, nudging Cathy's ear and meowing loudly. "It was a crazy meow, almost like she was screaming," said Cathy, who hesitated to get up until Winnie's caterwauling and jumping persisted.
When she got out of bed she realized she was nauseous and she kept feeling like she was going to faint. Every time she started to pass out, Winnie screamed at her. When she couldn't wake her husband, she called 911 but was unable to speak. The police were able to trace the call and get to the Keesling's residence. Paramedics found the couple's 14-year-old son, Michael, unconscious on the floor near his bedroom. The Keeslings were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning and soon recovered.
Cat Predicts Epileptic Fits
June 2006. Tee Cee's owner Michael Edmonds, of Sheffield, has complex epilepsy and can suffer seizures without warning. But now he is warned of an impending fit when Tee Cee sits close to him and stares at his face.
Michael Edmonds' step-daughter Samantha Laidler said, "My step-father has complex epilepsy as well as other health problems and is unable to go out on his own as he can have seizures without warning. We noticed that Tee Cee began staring at my step-father prior to a seizure and then ran to my mother to let her know all is not well, acting as an early warning system. Once assistance arrives, Tee Cee doesn't leave Michael's side until he regains consciousness and his warnings have proved invaluable to the family."

Cat Saved Her Owner From A Highly Poisonous Snake
On July 27, 2003 a cat named Sosa saved her owner from a highly poisonous snake. Kimberley was working in her garden when she was confronted by an Eastern Cottonmouth. The snake was only inches away and ready to strike. Sosa immediately interceded, lashing out at the snake and protecting Kimberley, but Sosa was bitten in the paw as a result.
The Eastern Cottonmouth is not native to Quebec. Had Kimberley been bitten, it might have been fatal because there is no ready supply of serum in the province. Sosa was treated for the snake bite and pulled through after three days in an animal hospital.
