The kitten was spotted hiding in the tipping hall at the waste centre

  • Published

Workers at a waste plant were surprised when they heard purrs and meows as they came into work.

They were even more surprised when they found a tortoiseshell kitten hiding in the building in Gloucestershire!

The workers played cat noises over a loudspeaker to lure the kitten out, after which she was then taken to the vets to make sure she was fit and healthy.

The cat, named Callie, has now found a new home with one of the company's staff.

You've got to be kitten me!

A turtle in Japan caused trouble after taking a little stroll along the tarmac.

The turtle, spotted at Japan's second-busiest airport, weighed just over 2kg and was seen moving slowly on the runway.

A pilot preparing to take-off, at Narita international airport, near Tokyo, contacted air traffic control.

The reptile was removed by staff with a net and caused delays of 15 minutes.

Sero was on the loose for three hours

This zebra was seen galloping through the streets of Seoul, Korea in March.

The animal - called Sero, which means vertical in Korean - had managed to escape from his home at Seoul Children's Grand Park Zoo.

He was also spotted poking his nose into garbage bins in a residential area close to where he escaped.

The young zebra, who was born at the zoo in 2021, escaped after breaking the wooden fencing around his pen, according to the Seoul Gwangjin Fire Station.

He was eventually captured and taken back to the zoo after three hours loose in the city.

A badger was looking for a bit of space in the cellar of an old Scottish castle

Staff at Craignethan Castle in Scotland got a bit of a surprise when a badger decided to set up camp in a cellar tunnel.

They were forced to close the tunnel while they persuaded the badger to come out.

Aww, sounds like he just wanted some 'me time'.
