A woman in New Zealand could not believe her eyes when a seal pup wandering around her town made himself at home in her living room on Sunday night.
The baby fur seal had been hopping around town all day when he eventually came in through the cat flap of Annette Swoffer's home for a well-earned kip.
Making himself at home, he bedded down on her sofa in the Bay of Plenty having tired himself out.
The seal had lolloped all the way up from the waterfront, through a residential area, up a slip road, up a driveway, under a gate and in through the cat flap of Swoffer's house.
She was in her office when she heard some commotion downstairs. She saw the pup's huge brown eyes staring back at her as it hopped around among her cats and her dog in the kitchen.
She told the New Zealand Herald she was thinking "I'm hallucinating, this is just wrong".
The excitable young pup moved past her to find a cosy spot on the sofa.
Swoffer rang the local Department of Conservation to come and collect him. It turned out that they were already looking for him, as an officer had spent the day trailing around town trying to capture him.
The Department of Conservation was called out again on Tuesday, as it seems that the same pup was spotted making his way up another residential street. He probably had a certain sofa in mind.
