A couple found an otter sleeping in their bed after it broke in through their pet gate and trashed their holiday home. Linda Goldie, 73, and her husband Peter, 70, were relaxing at their holiday home in Skinburness, Cumbria, when the intruder snuck inside unnoticed.
The cheeky creature squeezed through the bars of the couple's pet gate designed to stop their cat Millie from escaping. On its way to have a snooze, the otter caused havoc in the living room, scattering cushions and knocking off a candle holder.
It had also helped itself to some of Millie's cat food and was later sick on the carpet. Linda, a retired town clerk, was reading a book in her conservatory when she heard the commotion indoors, and assumed it was Millie.
