A CAT has astounded vets in Fife, Scotland, after managing to walk into an animal rescue centre with a tin can jammed on its head.

Cat with her head stuck in a food can

The cat, a female, walked into the centre in Middlebank, run by the Scottish Society for the Protection of Animals (SSPCA), on Sunday.

After the can was removed she was given a health check and has now been taken to a rehoming centre in Edinburgh.

Colin Seddon, manager of the centre, said: "Luckily no damage was done and the little cat was very pleased to be freed from the discomfort that comes with having your head stuck inside a tin can.

"We think it's likely that she was scavenging and came across this discarded tin of cat food. She may have got the can stuck on her head and then became disorientated, it's lucky she wasn't hit by a car.

"This only illustrates the fact that litter can pose a threat to both wild and domestic animals."
