Reply to: Now that's a clever puss cat

Perhaps there are millions of cats wondering around the area with 'empty' food tins on thier head and one randomly found itself at the centre.

It was Schrodingers cat, it went everywhere.
The Fife rescue centre just happened to see it, thus determining its position (although they still don't know its velocity)

I really wish that darn cat would stop wandering off....

Invoking Occam’s razor, it's simply the wonders of modern genetically modified cat food found in tins of Whiskers: aided by a freak lightning strike, the contents of the tin had miraculously transformed into a living kitten who was attempting to leave it's artificial womb like a new born chicken from an egg.

Exhausted and traumatised from its breech delivery, bursting through rear end first, the cat instinctively wondered into the rescue centre for help to aid its final travel through the tinned birth canal.

The alien creatures that adopt cat hosts always try to get back to the mother ship which is buried under the ground near Fife. A group of illuminati operate a deep-cover animal sanctuary just above the ships bridge.
The aliens are prevented from returning to the mother ship by orbital mind control lasers operated by government agencies. This scrambles the brain and prevents it from engaging the nervous cortex, but
some strong-willed aliens have been known to overcome the mind control by wrapping their heads in tin foil, biscuit tins or other metal objects.

So the cat was trying to avoid Hector's mind control mechanism?

The cat meowed with his head in the tin, which acted as a backward facing sonar. With his outstanding geographical memory built up through years of wandering around the neighbourhood, the cat was able to deduce his location from the echos in the tin coming from behind him. He then walked into the SPCA hoping he might find the least stupid people in the area, all the while wondering ‘why do some idiots think I can’t find the way with a tin on my head?’. Cats consider humans to be completely stupid and incapable. Sometimes I think they’re right.

Very improbable, the cat was female.

Actually, I think I know that Fife animal rescue centre. Isn't it the one next door to that big magnet factory?

A cat that wandered into a Fife rescue centre with a can stuck on its head has left staff wondering how it reached them without being knocked down.

The female cat walked into the Scottish SPCA's Wildlife Rescue Centre in Middlebank on Sunday with her head wedged in an empty pet food tin.


How did it know where to go?

Maybe it didn't go anywhere, that was where it got the can on its head in the first place?

The tin wasn't "empty". It had a cat's head in it. I expect better reporting from the BBC. - Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells

FTFY!

Another mystery solved by Scooby-Doo.

And they would've got away with it too if it hadn't been for those pesky kids!

Someone took the cat there, dropped it off after opening the door.

I could fix that with the aid of a hobnail boot and a stopwatch.
