Clever cat wins police plaudits in Japan for leading to rescue of man stuck in canal | The Japan Times
On June 16, a 77-year-old woman taking a walk around 7:30 p.m. found Koko, a female cat who belongs to a neighbor, staring into the canal and acting strangely. When she followed the cat s gaze, she discovered a man lying on his back in a 60-centimeter-wide and 40-cm-deep canal. The water was about 15 cm deep.
Probably the cat was wondering how quickly the old fellow would drown so she could eat him.
