We always say that cats are capable of just about anything, whether it be heroic actions or consuming an entire vat of cat food in the span of several hours. Anything they put their little (but not so little!) minds to, they can achieve. Luckily, cats are equipped with some extra sensitive senses, that we humans are simply not. Today we came across a video highlighting one very brave and heroic little kitten named Thor who's astute senses allowed him to clue his humans in to the fact that carbon monoxide was leaking in their home! More below-
"Heidi Stamper and her family in Farmington Hills, Michigan, survived a frightening episode of carbon monoxide poisoning, and they have their hero kitten, Thor, to thank. When Thor recently took ill and began to scream, he alerted the family that something wasn't right. They called 911, and learned that odorless carbon monoxide gas had been collecting in their home. The house was not equipped with a carbon monoxide detector, but luckily, they had Thor." (Via Inside Edition)
