The odd exchange begins with a police call handler saying: ‘Hello Met Police, what’s your emergency?’

The man then replies: 'Actually we are wallking home and there is a cat following us.

'I think it’s from someone and it’s following us for a long time.

He continues: 'So we don’t know - even if - she started running after us.

‘I don’t know what to do with it.’

The handler, who is clearly in disbelief of what he has just heard, then says: ‘So a cat is following you.’
