The cat has become a national hero

A PET cat has become a national hero in China after learning how to use a human loo.

The cheeky pussy’s antics have earned her godlike status in the country, where half of the rural population don’t even have an indoor toilet themselves.

The aptly-named Miao Mi, has learned to patiently wait for public WCs to become vacant in Chongqing, southern China, before she enters.

Owner Fang Deng, 32, said: “When she uses the toilet she squats at the edge; the posture is exactly the same as us.

“After doing her business, she takes a peek and then uses her paw to flush the toilet.”

THE average family dog pumps more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than a 4×4 vehicle that is driven 6,000 miles-a-year, a new book claims.

Time To Eat The Dog: The Real Guide To Sustainable Living compares man’s best friend to a Toyota Land Cruiser.

It also suggests a cat is equivalent to running a Volkswagen Golf.

The findings are based on the amount of land needed to grow food for pets.

Even a small pair of hamsters do the same damage as running a plasma television, the book’s authors Robert and Brenda Vale told the Daily Express.

But rabbits and chickens were eco-friendly because they provide ‘meat for their owners’.
