Seal pup wanders into home through cat door in NZ

YouTube Description:

A wandering baby fur-seal wriggled through the cat-door of a Welcome Bay house and made himself at home on the couch.

timesunio.com: A fur-covered baby seal slipped through the cat door of a New Zealand home and dozed off on the sofa while the homeowner wondered if she was imagining things.

"I was in my office and I heard an awful racket down below ... I thought the cats have brought a rabbit or something in so I went down and had a look — and there's a seal in my kitchen," a stunned Annette Swoffer told the New Zealand Herald

She said the seal was hanging out with her cats.

Swoffer told the newspaper the seal shuffled past her and her pets before climbing on her sofa for a nap.

"Then it looks at me with those huge brown eyes. It was so cute, but I didn't touch it because you don't with wild animals," she said.

The seal had made its way from the Welcome Bay waterfront, through the suburb's residential area, across busy Welcome Bay Road, up a slip road, along Swoffer's long driveway, under a gate, through the cat door and up some stairs before he was found in the kitchen about 9.30 p.m. before it headed for the sofa.

Swoffer called a friend who came over to verity the find. She then called the local animal protective organization.

"They were giggling away and I'm saying 'I'm not drunk, I'm not lying, there's a seal in my house.' "

The SPCA contacted the Department of Conservation, which was already looking for a seal reported hopping along Welcome Bay Road, according to the Herald. The agency removed the animal from the woman's home.
