Cat causes chaos by 'joining in' with family's Elf on the Shelf poo mischief

Many kids will know the trouble that those pesky Elf on the Shelf chaps can get up to over Christmas - but for one family, it turned out that it wasn't Santa's little helper that they had to watch out for.

Mum Sophia Williams pulled out all the stops for the festive tradition this year, and hoped to give her kids a shock with the latest mischievous instalment of the Elf's nightly antics. Using chocolate, Sophia scrawled the words 'Poo, yuck!" on the bathroom wall with a guilty-looking Elf sat beneath the cheeky message.

In keeping with the festive tradition, the Elf was framed for the incident with the idea to make it appear as if the naughty doll had smeared Elf poo on the walls when the family were sleeping. But when Sophia's nine-year-old daughter Hollie wandered into the bathroom come the morning she got a much bigger surprise than her mum had planned, PlymouthLive reports.
