An African serval cat found with cocaine in its system after escaping when police pulled its owner’s car over will live at Cincinnati Zoo. The feline’s escapades have delighted social media users still amused by the recent release of the film Cocaine Bear – based on a true story about a 13-stone black bear found dead near a duffle bag and cocaine with a street value of about two million US dollars (£1.67 million).
Some users have dubbed the wild animal “Cocaine Cat”. The slender serval made its escape when officers pulled a car over on January 28, according to local animal control officials.
It jumped from the car into a tree. During a rescue mission, the cat – called Amiry – broke its leg.
