A “cat-astrophe” saw two neighbours call 911 over the odour of a pet’s smelly litter box.
The City of Atlanta Police Department released audio of the call to demonstrate the unnecessary calls emergency dispatchers receive.
In the clip, a caller told a dispatcher: “The cat got the house smelling bad ma’am.
“She’s trying to burn incense in here, but it’s not getting better. It’s getting worser - the smell.”
“Non-urgent matters are best resolved through friendly discussions, not emergency lines,” the police department wrote on Facebook.
