Police get a 999 call from a cat

Police get a 999 call from a cat, literally
Police reacted quickly when there was
silence on a 999 call.
But after battering down the front door of
the house from where the call was made,
officers realised who was to blame – a cat
named Bruce.
The kitten was home alone while his
owners were at work, and probably
wanted some attention.
While pawing at the house phone, he
somehow managed to contact the
emergency services. Once police arrived
at the London flat, their fears were
heightened by the sound of shrieking
from inside. It turned out to be Bruce,
fighting with his feline flatmate Audrey.
After solving the mystery, police waited
for James Cocksedge to come home so
they could explain what happened.
The 33-year-old said: ‘Since we had the
landline installed Bruce always rushes to
answer the phone when it rings. He’s also
fascinated by the buttons, which he loves
to press.’
Now faced with a bill of hundreds of
pounds for a new front door, the sound
engineer added: ‘The police were only
doing their job. For all they know,
something really dangerous was going on
in the flat.’
