CAT CHAOS

Town center traffic is being brought to a standstill - by a cat. Now frustrated authorities have slapped a curfew on Mollie the moggy after she was blamed for wreaking havoc in St Peter's Avenue car park.
Drivers are having to swerve out of the way as she coolly makes her way across her resort territory and then stretches out across the Cleethorpes car park's only exit - causing tailbacks down one-way Cosgrove Street, and gridlock around the busy shopping area.
And local Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) say they have had no choice but to impose a curfew on Mollie at peak times during the day. The two-year-old rescue cat's owners are Colin and Angela Binns, of Cosgrove Street, and their sons Thomas and James. Mr Binns said he will now have to buy a cat-flap which has a timer on it to keep Mollie indoors during those times. Colin (38) said: "I will be in trouble if she gets out. I consider it a warning. "If the curfew does not work, it could be an ASBO next," he joked." She is oblivious to cars. They all toot their horns but have to go around her. I don't know how we can keep her in when all she wants is to go out and be cool. "I could understand it, if she was a dog. But she's just a cat and she is friendly."
