'Sir we can't arrest your cat': Man calls police after cat eats his bacon

"The cat stole my bacon" - British man calls 911 after he founds his bacon gobbled by his cat

A man from Yorkshire, England called 999 (the British equivalent of 911) after he found his girlfriend having fed their cat his bacon.

In an emergency call released online the man can be heard explaining to the operator that his girlfriend fed his bacon to their cat and he was really unhappy about it.

““What would you like the police to do with regard to that, sir?” The operator asks.

The man, clearly frazzled, wanted to press charges

The operator proceeded to calmly ask the man whether he was referring to his girlfriend or his cat.

“Both of them,” he responded.

The operator then had to explain that feeding a man's bacon to a cat wasn't a criminal offense and that the situation didn't call for a 911 call.

The man seemed to accept it all at the end of the call.
