Han Solo is basically a cat. Pass it on.

Trudy Guy was awoken by her cat Schnautzie in the middle of the night. Hearing a roaring sound in the bathroom, she investigated and found a broken gas pipe. After fleeing, firefighters told her that her house could have blown up if she'd done nothing. Schnautzie was rightfully awarded a Purple Paw Award by the Great Falls Animal Foundation during their annual Fur Ball.

Back in 2006, police received a 911 call from Gary Rosheisen's apartment - but there was no one on the other line. Going to his apartment to check out the situation, they found Rosheisen had fallen out of his wheelchair and could not get up. They also found Rosheisen's cat, Tommy, sitting next to the phone, which had a speed dial for 911. There was only one explanation - Tommy had hit the speed dial for 911!

During the 1854 Crimean War, a cat named Tom reportedly led starving British and French troops to food stores, saving their lives. He was taken back to England, where he lived a happy life. He was actually stuffed after his death - you can see him in the National Army Museum in London!

BRB, I need to go kiss my cat.
