In Germany, Gunther Burpus remained wedged in his front-door cat flap for two days because passers-by thought he was a piece of installation art. Mr Burpus, 41, of Bremen, was using the flap because he had mislaid his keys.

'I kept calling for help,' he said, 'but people just said 'Very good! Very clever!' and threw coins at me.'
