On the early morning of July 5, a tiger cub broke into a resident's kitchen in Anhui Province's Huaibei City, Anhuinews.com reported.

Mr Lv said he was woken up by the loud barking of his two dogs at about 5 a.m. that day. He then saw what appeared to be a big cat wandering into his kitchen.

Lv immediately got up and followed the animal into the kitchen and -- unsuccessfully -- tried to scare the intruder away. He left it there and went out for work.

Lv manages a fish pond at his home, and fishermen come there to make a catch. In the afternoon, one fisherman went into the kitchen to get his fishing gear, but was terrified by the howls of the "big cat".

Later, police arrived and identified the animal as a tiger cub. It was then captured and sent to a local zoo.

據中安在線報道，7月5日清晨，一只小老虎闖進了安徽淮北居民呂某的廚房。

呂某表示，早上5點鐘，他被家里兩條狗的狂吠吵醒，隨后就看到一只“大貓”溜達進了廚房。

他趕緊起床跟了過去，不過沒能把它趕走。他只好將其留在那兒，忙著出去干活了。

據悉，呂某在自己家里經營著一個魚塘，常會有人過來釣魚。那天下午，一個釣魚的進廚房去拿釣具時被那“大貓”的咆哮給嚇壞了。

民警到后確認其是只小老虎，隨后將它捉住送到了當地動物園。
