Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I can so relate to that.......I am always afraid I will die here and not be found for weeks, months.....who knows. I have BIG bowls of water around the house for my cats and lots of food too. I go for weeks without seeing a soul so I really need my pets. A few days ago a fan motor burned out while I was sleeping. It got so hot that the plastic blades and cage melted and released probably toxic fumes, but no smoke that would have set off the alarms. I think I was slightly drugged by those fumes because the fan was near me. I found it odd that the breaker was not thrown. One of the cats jumped up onto my chest, dug her claws into my shoulders, poked me in the face with her nose while she yowled. That is unheard of behavior for her. I felt groggy, but I was able to get up and call 911. Josie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wow! I had a similar incident after I split from my ex. I was renting an apt. and the scum lord I mean landlord was too cheap to replace the heater so he had his handyman " fix it " . Then one day, I was laying back in my Lazy Boy and fell asleep. All of a sudden my small dog jumped from a distance upon my chest and woke me up. I felt so groggy I felt like I was dying. I got up and stumbled outside. I couldn't believe what had just happened. Later that same day the electric company red tagged that heater and I finally got a new one. That is something that will stick with me forever. Thank god for our four legged family members!
