A police department in Texas in the US has released footage of an over-affectionate cat distracting a policeman trying to issue a ticket to a motorist.

The video, filmed by a camera in officer Keith Urban's patrol car, shows the cat crawling up his leg and then onto his head.

Captain Don Georgens from Taylor Police Department said the footage 'helped with our humour around the station'.
