Cat and mouse in real life 'Tom and Jerry' drama
Friday, January 26, 2007

Police were drafted in after a cat 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, Cambridgeshire, 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. "I don'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."

The cat was examined by a vet and found to be unharmed. Police checked the cat's microchip, discovered she was called Mindy, and quickly reunited her with her owner, who lives in Peterborough.

"We were worried that the cat - and the mouse - would suffocate if we didn't get the jar off - or that they would be badly cut if we broke the glass," said the spokeswoman. But the cat was found to be fit and well, if a little disappointed. We don't know how the mouse is getting on. The cat was found on January 25 - about two miles from where she lived. We don't know how long she'd been wandering around with the jar on her head."
