Grumpy Englishman calls the police after cat ate his bacon

Bacon may arguably be one of the most delicious cured meats, so when it’s taken from just under your nose, what’s a hungry guy (or girl) to do?

One irate man from Northern England was left with this very dilemma after his girlfriend gave his bacon to their cat. And instead of simply cooking more or eating something else, the man reacted quickly — by calling the police and asking to press charges.

“Sir, it’s not a criminal offense to let your cat eat your bacon,” the operator says in the video.

“We don’t arrest cats,” she adds, apologizing.

With resigned defeat in his voice, the man says goodbye to the operator, and hopefully has since had some bacon.
