Wild badger sneaks into home, impersonates cat

[applecruncher]

A bold badger briefly replaced a family’s pet cat after the wild animal reportedly snuck into a home through a cat door last week, ate the feline’s food and took a nap in the cat bed.

An animal rescue officer with the Scottish SPCA was called to the Linlithgow home on Wednesday after the homeowner discovered the wild animal nestled up in the plush bed, the animal welfare group reported on its website.

Hilarious. "Bette Badger Goes Walkabout" perhaps? Lulz.

Walkabout is a specific term in OZ.
We need more whimsy.

How about "A Bed for Bette Badger"?
I can see numerous iterations of this theme.

I always wondered about those pet doors. Other things (raccoon, gophers, etc. Can crawl in).

And they do. A friend who lives near a wilderness area had to get a pet door with an electronic signal that her dogs' collars activated because they had some uninvited company.
