Kitten hides in police car's engine bay

Police had to call in the fire brigade yesterday (Tues) - to help find a kitten.

Officers in Vienna-Favoriten were alerted by passersby who spotted the curious kitten climbing into the engine of a patrol car.

But after rooting around under the bonnet, the six policemen were unable to find the cat and so called in fire fighters to dismantle the engine.

The moggy was eventually found and handed over to a local animal shelter who said it was just around seven weeks old.

The animal shelter managers - who called the kitten Jimmy - have appealed for its owners to come forward.
