Cat russia prison, Cat burglars nabbed with their ill-gotten gains usually end up in prison, looking for a way to escape.
But a feline intruder in Russia has been arrested as it tried to go the other way – and break into a penal colony.
The artful moggy was seized by guards after they noticed him "on the fence" of their prison in the northern Komi region with a suspicious package strapped to his stomach.
Closer inspection showed the cat – dubbed a "kot kontrabandist" by Russian media – was carrying two mobile telephones and two adaptors, clearly destined for inmates.
Authorities at Correctional Colony No. 1 in Verkhny Chov said the black and white courier had been "detained in the act of trying to deliver forbidden objects" after being intercepted on a 6pm patrol of the perimeter on Friday.
They said it was the first case of its kind at the institution, and the most ingenious attempt since someone try to smuggle a sim card and a phone into the colony inside an icon of the Virgin Mary.
Convicts in Russia are not allowed phones, although wealthier lags sometimes pay off guards in order to keep one. In 2011, the governor of a prison in Volgograd region lost his job after he was revealed to be supplying jailed crime bosses with luxury cells fitted with plasma TVs, fish tanks, and drinks cabinets stocked with vodka and whisky.
Russia's four-legged courier is not the first of its kind.
In January this year a cat was stopped as it tried to slip through the gates of a prison in Arapiraca, Brazil. Strapped to his body were a mobile phone, several drill bits and a small saw.
