A MAN dialled 999 when a cat wandered into his home, police revealed today.
The worried householder phoned police to say that the large moggy had walked through his back door into his kitchen.
The caller, from Gloucester, was politely advised to pick up the cat and remove it from the house.
He was also warned the situation was not an emergency.
16. That time when the moon wasn't a UFO.
The full conversation between the moon caller and police is worth quoting in full
Control Room:: "South Wales Police, what's your emergency?"
Caller: "It's not really. I just need to inform you that across the mountain there's a bright stationary object."
Control Room:: "Right."
Caller: "If you've got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It's been there at least half an hour and it's still there."
Control: "It's been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the mountain or in the sky?"
Caller: "It's in the air."
Control Room:: "I will send someone up there now to check it out."
Caller: "OK."
Then later on when an officer is dispatched...
Control Room:: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"
Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."
