Cat saves man's life after fall

If you're not a cat person, this story might just change your mind. Ron Williams, 84, slipped and fell while getting out of the shower one day. He credits his cat for saving his life.

Owner asks cat to knock something off a ledge for them.
Cat: "I've trained my whole life for this moment..."

[Ditronian]

So that's why my cat is always knocking things over...training to save my life.

He is just a kitten right now. THAT IS NOT EVEN HIS FINAL FORM

[feyrie]

Rest in peace Mr.Williams….he passed away a year after this happened and I believe his family members took in Fluffy. 😢

People don't give cats enough credit on how loyal and smart they are.

The cuteness of and old man a kitten playing together is almost unfair

[ultimatecatnerd]

Imagine how intelligent that cat must be to tell that his owner needed his phone

Ron passed away about a year later with fluffy by his side. May he rest easy

[Spearo]

I'm sobbing. "Fluffy, ring-a-ding. Ring-a-ding Fluffy. You're my only hope." The purity and the fact that he named him fluffy..

When cats knock things off the table, they’re just practicing the day they need to save your life.

When my Dad had a heart attack, our cat made a ruckus by the window to let Mom know !

He managed to live an extra year with Fluffy's help. He was able to spend more time with his family, all thanks to a kitten that cared deeply for his owner. I hope the family gives Fluffy all the love he deserves.

The way that man talks. It breaks my heart.

Poor lad shouldn't be all alone.

Old Man: *Has Crisis, Can be saved by Pushing something off a shelf*
Cat: "I have been Training for this day my entire life!"

[mafiaseargent]

This is the first story I've ever heard of a cat pushing something off a counter and it being a good thing

[pamelagileno]

Cats save lives all the time but are rarely given credit. What a wonderful story!!!

The part where he is talking about the event and his voice breaks from gratitude, that got me. Wiping tears away as I comment.

It's not a kitten it's the grandpa's guardian angel.

I was in the shower and my cat, Snoop, kept meowing and even got in the shower under the water to try to get my attention, and when I followed him, there was a candle that had ignited on the stove with flames shooting up about 6 feet! Cats do care and will show it when needed.

It is a myth that cats are self centred and they show no affection, in contrast they are very independent and intelligent beings. Such a heart warming story, really loved it.
