Feline strikes fear into would-be cat burglars
A cat in the UK has been employed as a guard dog.
Millie the Bengal feline is thought to be the first ever moggy security guard after taking on the role at a warehouse in Southampton, Hampshire, where she looks after a best-selling toy range.
Security guards at the warehouse head-hunted the cat after spotting her roaming around the factory floor looking menacing.
Millie's loud purr and superb climbing abilities both helped to make her the stand-out candidate for the role, for which she finally agreed to be paid in cat food and fish after some tense negotiations.
A spokesman said: "We are expecting a bumper year this Christmas with orders starting to fly in from retailers putting in their requests, including new boys action toy releases for Ben 10 and Power Rangers.
"With the appointment of Millie the security cat, our toys are now very well protected."
