Neighbors hear cat meowing incessantly until they realize elderly owner fell down ravine

The continuous meows of her pet cat saved an 83-year-old woman from Cornwall, England, who had fallen into a 70-foot ravine.

After the woman’s caregiver reported that she was missing, Bodmin Police started looking for her. The old woman’s cat named Piran was meowing in a corner of a vast maize field next to her house when one of her neighbors saw it.

The cat was determined.

The cat won’t give up. It seems as though he’s attempting to draw attention to the place. It turned out, he was showing the way to where his owner was. Tamar Longmuir, her 38-year-old neighbor, verified that the cat was in fact “telling” others that his human was right there.

Longmuir made the decision to go and explore the cornfield since the cat continued moving back and forth in the doorway and meowing.

Longmuir knew something was up.

According to the authorities, the woman fell around 70 feet down a steep embankment and into a ravine. Longmuir had to yell downward since the ground was uneven and quite difficult to access in order to see how her neighbor was doing.

Before she heard the woman’s voice, Longmuir’s cows first responded to her cries.

Until she heard her neighbor.

“Just as I was going to go off the path and start going through the crop, I heard a very faint response to my calling. I then quickly realized my neighbor was down the 70-foot ravine,” she recalled.

The unfortunate woman was laying in the creek after breaching the barbed wire. According to the authorities, she had been there for several hours. Fortunately, her cat Piran was unstoppable.

Her cat saved her.

The woman was hoisted back up to the field using a stretcher when aid from water rescue personnel arrived. She was then flown by air ambulance to the hospital.

She continues to be “in good spirits” and stable. The victim is presently receiving care to address her injuries and the trauma that came with the whole ordeal.

Things ended up well.

Eleanor Richards, a community support officer with the Bodmin Police, claims that instances like this are frequent in the region.

“Cornwall is a fairly rural country, so it is not unusual for us to get called to individuals who may need assistance and access,” she remarked. “There is a lot of moorland and coastline to contend with so we work closely with out partner agencies and volunteer [organizations] to achieve the best result possible.”

But it’s the first a cat helped them.

The woman, along with everyone else who was aware of the situation, is appreciative of Piran’s important contribution to the rescue.

“Without the cat waiting at the gate to that field, it could have been hours later that I or anyone else would have checked in there,” Longmuir said.

Although cats are frequently thought of as being aloof, this story shows that they are capable of feeling loyalty toward their humans.

Indeed, the cat hero Piran evidently adores his human like no other. Kudos!
