A PANICKED man called a police emergency line for help because there was a cat in his kitchen in just one of thousands of in appropriate calls.The call to Britain's 999 line starts with the man, saying: "There's a cat in my kitchen I don't know how to deal with him."The bemused operator asks "You've got a what in your kitchen?", and the man responds: "A cat, cat, cat."Operator: "So there's no emergency? it's just that there's a cat in your kitchen?Man: "I need to sleep. It's in my, my home."Operator: "This is not a police matter. We're not going to remove a cat from your house."If you just go into the kitchen, shoo the cat out the back door, it will leave, alright?"The call details were released by Gloucestershire police, who said it was one of more than 4500 inappropriate calls this year, the BBC reports.In another incident, a teenager called 999, to complain about his parents redecorating his room.And, in another call, police could hear only shouting in the background, Sky News reports.Officers sent to the scene discovered an argument between a husband and wife over whose turn it was to do the washing up.
