Bruce Lee, a pedigree Singapura kitten, mistakenly dials 999 (UPI) -- Police officers broke down the door of an apartment in the London neighborhood of Kilburn expecting to discover an emergency, but were instead greeted by a pedigree Singapura kitten named Bruce Lee. More precisely, police discovered the cat hiding under clothes in the wardrobe of his owner, James Cocksedge. Cocksedge, 33, discovered the scene when he arrived home. "I didn't tell him off," Cocksedge said. I couldn't. He already looked so ashamed of himself. He got himself into this situation and then didn't know what to do, so he just hid. If anything I felt a lot of sympathy for him. He was quite upset by the whole ordeal. It happened the day before his first birthday, so it wasn't great timing for Brucie. Accidental or not, the police don't take chances when it comes to 999 calls. We take all abandoned calls seriously. These calls are typically resolved with a call back from a police operator, confirming the need for police. When call backs are unanswered, checks are carried out, and police will respond to the address where appropriate," a Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said. Lee's owner theorized about how the call might have been made. Basically, he always jumps when the phone rings and then starts knocking about the receiver. I imagine someone must have rang, he probably went nuts, dialed nine three times, heard a voice, suddenly freaked out and left the phone. Then the police started banging down the door and he hid. All I know is, I left Bruce Lee and his sister Audrey for a couple of hours and when I got back the police were waiting outside my flat. They said: "Don't worry, we've had to force entry, but the cat is all right. The phone was on the floor. Audrey was quite relaxed but Bruce had disappeared. I found him looking guilty at the back of the wardrobe and I put two and two together. According to Cocksedge, "Bruce Lee is still in shock."
