Cat Dials 911

Apparently, a cat was paying attention when his owner, Gary Rosheisen, tried to show him how to dial 911.

Rosheisen, of Columbus, Ohio, was unable to call for help when he fell out of his wheelchair.

Columbus police said the cat, named Tommy, was lying by a telephone on the living room floor when they arrived at the man's home.

They had received a 911 call from the apartment, but no one was on the phone.
Rosheisen said Tommy must have hit the right buttons to alert authorities.
He said he had tried to teach Tommy to dial 911, using a speed-dial button. But he wasn't sure if the cat ever picked up the training.
