POLICE responding to a 999 call from a house in Swansea realised they’d been summoned by Ginger the cat when they showed up on the doorstep.
When they arrived at Howard Moss’s house and banged on the door, the officers encountered a confused resident who’d been fast asleep in bed. With Howard at a loss to explain how the 999 call had been traced to his house, attention soon turned to his unhooked phone... and the feline lying fast asleep with one of his paws across it.
‘I’ve had him 12 years and he is very, very friendly,’ he said. ‘He was oblivious to the commotion he’d caused,’ Howard added. South Wales Police took the false alarm in good humour. Confirming that an emergency call turned out to be the result of a family feline ‘laying across thze phone’, a spokesperson added: ‘It was a purrfect ending for everyone.’ –Metro
