Related: About this forumCat saves life of his 84 year old human
Cats rule - a cat named Fluffy saved his human Ron Williams's life after her slipped in the shower.Ron Williams of Sturgis turns 85 in September. Not too long ago, to keep him company, a friend brought him a boy cat named Fluffy.
From roughly 8 in the morning until midnight later that day, Ron lay in agony. The door was closed, and his Life Alert was in the other room on the charger. His phone was in the bathroom with him, but just out of reach on the counter.
Lucky for Ron, Fluffy was in the room too. And whether or not Ron knew it, hed been training Fluffy for this moment accidentally.
So I said ring-a-ding fluffy. Youre my only hope, Ron said, tearing up. And he was. It wasnt even five minutes later I felt something hit my hand. And Im here because of it.

Yeah Fluffy knocked the phone off the counter so his human could call for help.
Now if you'll excuse me I've got something in my eye.

trying to save me?
Fluffy is a good boy.

Animals are so much smarter than we are.

Fluffy is a definite keeper who I'm sure will be spoiled by Ron until he's unable to do so anymore. 😭

Bootsy jumped on him and woke him up as the tea kettle was burning up the wall.
I made dad microwave his coffee after that.

I know of a dog who alerted parents to their son's appendix emergency.
Okay, I get it if you don't like cats or if you don't like dogs, but don't EVER treat them badly. EVER.
