A BABY fur seal wriggled through the cat door of a New Zealand home, checked out the kitchen and then made itself at home on the couch, all in front of the stunned home owner.
Annette Swoffer lives on a busy road a few hundred metres from Tauranga Harbour on the North Island’s Bay of Plenty. The closed cat door and stairs proved no barrier for the determined mammal, which made its way inside on Sunday evening.
”It was a very bizarre experience,” Ms Swoffer told NZ Newswire.
The seal sniffed around the kitchen, ignored her dog and cats and was on the couch for up to 45 minutes before a Department of Conservation ranger arrived to pick it up.
