COLUMBUS, Ohio (Dec. 31) - Police aren't sure how else to explain it.

How Did Cat Call 911?

But when an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911

call, an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living

room floor. The cat's owner, Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed

having fallen out of his wheelchair.

Rosheisen said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons to call 911.

" I know it sounds kind of weird, " Officer Daugherty said,

unsuccessfully searching for some other explanation.

Rosheisen said he couldn't get up because of pain from osteoporosis and

ministrokes that disrupt his balance. He also wasn't wearing his

medical-alert necklace and couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that

alerts paramedics that he needs help.

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.

The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small

buttons - including a speed dial for 911 right above the button for the

speaker phone.

" He's my hero, " Rosheisen said.

That's great! My cats would probably just sit there and laugh to themselves or

even pee on one of us if that happened! They really are evil little things!
