This ginger kitten named Garfield seemed to believe it was invisible as it covered one eye with a paw and sat in a flower pot to hide from a large dog. Iveta Novotna from Brno, Czech Republic, photographed the cute kitten in her garden.
Escaped kangaroo goes on underwear stealing binge!
I’ll just stay quite still and no one will notice me
A kangaroo is for the high jump after escaping from its owner and going on a knicker-nicking spree.
Benji bounced from garden to garden collecting ladies’ lingerie as it went. The two-year-old marsupial was only caught when one victim looked out of her kitchen window and saw it hopping it with her undies.
A spokesman for the police in Prague, Czech Republic, explained: “We had a call from the kangaroo’s owner saying it had escaped. At the same time, we started getting reports of a number of thefts from washing lines.”
He added: “We didn’t think they could possibly be related until the animal was caught red-handed.”
Benji’s owner Petr Hlabovic, 35, said: “I’m very relieved to have him back. I’ve got no idea what he thought he was up to – he certainly didn’t pick up the habit from me.”
That’s what they all say.

Czech fugitive – working in US max security prison
Interpol Poster
A man wanted in the Czech Republic for drug and fraud crimes has been arrested while working in the US – at a maximum security prison.
Michal Preclik, 32, had recently been promoted to the post of corporal, the Associated Press reports…
Nebraska officials said they carried out a full background check on Mr Preclik and the fact he was employed was “a concern”.
But Mr Preclik’s wife, Kari, told reporters her husband had been granted legal residency in the US after testifying in another case and that she could not understand why he had been arrested now.
They told him that his status was protected here, that whatever he had done in his past was eliminated
Mr Preclik is currently being held in another prison, where he is fighting possible deportation to the Czech Republic. The exact reason for his arrest has not been made public…
Officials said the state would be reviewing its employment policy and procedures.
Obviously, no one in Nebraska’s Correctional System is familiar with The Google.
