Mouse traps cat in a jar
Published: January 26, 2007
Police had to rescue a cat that tried to fish a mouse out of a jam jar and got its head stuck.
A motorist went to a police station for help after finding the tabby wandering beside a road in Peterborough with the jar on its head and the mouse millimetres from its nose.
A receptionist and three officers pulled and twisted but were unable to
release the cat, police said.
Eventually the animal freed itself - and the mouse - by smashing the jar on the floor of Thorpe Wood police station.
“It was like a scene from Tom and Jerry,” said a police spokeswoman.
“Idon’t think anyone had ever seen anything like it before.
“The receptionist tried to get the jar off when the motorist brought the cat in - but she couldn’t. So three policemen were asked to help.
“They tried to prise the jar off as this terrified mouse looked on - but it was firmly wedged.
“Eventually the cat smashed the jar on the floor and the mouse ran off - it’s still running around Thorpe Wood police station somewhere.”
