New Zealand housecat delivers “bag of drugs” to owner’s doorstep

What would you do if your cat showed up on the doorstep with a baggie full of marijuana?

A New Zealand woman was surprised to find what she called “a bag of drugs” on her doorstep on May 18. The woman, a Halfway Bush resident who asked police that she not be identified, “was very pleased to have the evidence removed,” Dunedin Police Sargent Reece Munro told the Otago Daily Times.


Pot for pets? It’s “untried, unproven, unregulated,” says top veterinarian


“It was approximately 5 grams of cannabis, which has a street value of between $100 and $150,” Munro told the Kiwi paper. “You hear of cats bringing dead birds and rats home but certainly in my career I’ve never seen anything like this before … I guess you never really know who’s keeping you honest these days, do you?”

Where the marijuana came from remains a mystery, though the police are planning on fingerprinting — pawprinting? — the evidence.
