Not Seal Mates

A New Zealand cat was not flippin’ happy after an uninvited fur seal entered her home through the cat flap. Mount Maunganui marine biologist, Phil Ross, said the fur seal was inside their house, exploring different rooms and lounging on the couch when the family got home. It’s not clear why the seal ventured inside, but Ross suspects that his cat, Coco, attempted to ‘defend’ the home turf against the creature but when the seal wasn’t intimidated, Coco bolted around the side of the house into the catflap, and the seal followed. A Department of Conservation ranger caught the seal, which was unharmed, and released it back into the sea.
