Cat dials 911 to save owner

Shens.

Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check things out.

Wouldn't that mean the cat would have had to hit speaker phone, speeddial then turn speakerphone off?

No way.
 
so it hit a speeddial button it had been trained to push? Thats kinda craz, but not as crazy as it dialling 9-1-1 spontaneously.

actually most phones disconnect automatically like a cell phone after a couple of seconds when the other person has hung up...

not to mention even if they do recieve a 911 call someone still has to come to the house even f you dialed it by mistake to make sure it isnt someone with a gun to your head telling to to tell them that it was an accident

But they said they tried to call back. Personally, my phone doesn't automatically hang up.
 
Why is it when something is so hard to believe, it's always Shens, shens, shens. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But to always say Shens, is Shens in of itself. 😛

Stranger things have happened. I say, good going for the cat, and the guy he saved.
 
Not too hard to belive if you have a cat. Ginger, the amazing taking cat, will get on the bed and walk on me to wake me up if I sleep too long past the alarm. ESPECIALLY, if I say I have to get up and to not let me oversleep.
Believe it or not, but it happens.

Big deal, my cat ordered extra toppings and tipped the driver.
 
I would be concerned about the mental state of someone that buys a phone, puts it on the floor for the cat, and then tries to train the cat to dial 911.

You might do something like that too if you lived alone in a wheelchair.

QFT

and a local news story here said that the phone was setup that when speakerphone was pushed, 911 was automatically dialed
again, this was because he was in a wheelchair. im glad it worked out for him.. good pet 🙂
a dog could be even easier to train for this, but never heard of cats picking that kind of stuff up
 
I dunno, I have a hard time believing that the cat consciously knew what it was doing, on any level. If it was speed dial, and it did do it on purpose, that's pretty amazing for a cat. Cause they usually just don't care about anything!
