And, it apparently was a cat rescued from a shelter.

Cat saves owner's life

Wife says 'Buddy' sensed her husband needed help

Published On: Sep 12 2012 11:39:37 PM EDT Updated On: Sep 13 2012 07:56:21 AM EDT

ORLANDO, Fla. -
 
They say cats have nine lives, but in the case of Buddy, he gave his owner a second chance at life.

Buddy is more than just a stray cat given shelter in a home.  According to the Chap family, he's a hero.

"He was meowing, scratching, and jumping, and just trying to get my attention," said Jennifer Chap, who was working in her home office when Buddy started misbehaving.

Chap picked up her cat and walked to the kitchen, where her husband was kneeling over the counter and going into a sudden cardiac arrest.

Chap pulled her husband onto the kitchen floor and gave him CPR until paramedics arrived. She said he wasn't breathing.

Good cat!  Tuna and chicken every day for life!

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

What really happened was the cat was demanding food, it just was coincidence that her husband was having a heart attack at the time. Cats are evil!

I've got a friend who is a senior captain with the Houston fire department.  He's a paramedic supervisor and has been for 30+ years.

He told me he's gone to a lot of houses where the owner lived alone and had died.  He said if they had cats in the house ... well, he said the cats weren't hungry when he got there.  He said if the owner had a dog that the dog would be sitting next to the body starving.

He won't own a cat.

The dog will use the cat for dinner if he catches him.  Then nobody will have to worry about the litter box.

'Tis true.  Though, this "chief of staff" is a little strict with his charge.  (No feeding before the appointed hour, for example.)
