Friendly cat gets cosy with policeman

Check out this video of a very cute cat begging for some attention from a police officer who is trying to carry out a traffic stop in Taylor, Texas, US.

The black kitty was captured crawling up and down in a friendly display towards the cop on the patrol car's dashboard camera.

Taylor police officer Keith Urban is seen being patient with the cat, then finally gently booting the kitty away.

The Taylor Daily Press reports Urban had pulled over an SUV in the driveway of a farm lot. The video shows the cat scampering up and down on Urban, making its way to the officer's shoulders.

Police chief Jeff Straub says Urban never mentioned the feline encounter until he became concerned that the cat might have been injured when they parted ways.

Straub says the video shows "incredible patience on the part of the officer."

The collar-wearing cat fled.
