A baby fur-seal wriggled through the cat door

[Saint in Paradise]

A baby fur-seal wriggled through the cat door of a Tauranga house, checked out the kitchen and then

made itself at home on the couch, all in front of the stunned homeowner.

 

Annette Swoffer lives a few hundred metres from Tauranga Harbour but a busy road, the closed cat

door and stairs proved no barrier for the determined mammal, which made its way inside on Sunday evening.

 

"It was a very bizarre experience," Ms Swoffer told NZ Newswire.

 

The seal sniffed around the kitchen, ignored her dog and cats and was on the couch for up to 45 minutes

before a Department of Conservation (DOC) ranger arrived to pick it up.

 

Ms Swoffer said the seal struggled to get through the cat door as there was a bit of noise, but had no problem

getting up the stairs and on to the couch in the lounge.

 

She has no idea why it chose her house and the couch to rest on.

That's why they have problems. If you don't want to get clubbed on the head don't call yourself a fur seal for god's sake.
