Cops break down door after cat calls 999
Police broke their way into a UK home after a cat dialed 999 FOUR TIMES in the space of a few minutes.Emergency call operators in Sussex sent officers to the home after receiving four silent 999 calls from the house in quick succession.
When cops arrived they looked through the window and saw a broken lamp, fearing the worst they smashed the door down to investigate.
But when they went inside they found no sign of a burglary or injured person ... just a smug looking moggie.
The owner insists her cat Watson - who enjoys playing with the phone - must have accidentally called the number.
A spokesperson for Sussex police said: "When officers arrived they looked through the window and saw a broken lamp on the floor.
"Coupled with the abandoned 999 call and the fact that the line was still engaged, they entered the property.
"No-one was present and the phone was found off the hook. The occupier was subsequently traced and the assumption was that the cat had knocked the phone onto the floor."
