Officer ‘Jungle Gym’ meets feline friend

Meet the policeman dubbed Officer “Jungle Gym” in Taylor, Texas.

Keith Urban was on duty and he pulled over an SUV on a country road. When he stopped to write a ticket, a feline the Taylor Daily Press describes as a “black juvenile kitten, likely about a year old” approached and wanted to play. The whole thing was captured on Urban’s patrol car dashcam.

The cat wants to climb Urban’s leg, but Urban discourages it. It persists and, if you want to skip to the good stuff, around 1:49 in the video, the summit is reached.

That the policeman continued to write the ticket even as he was climbed upon makes this what the Taylor Daily Press calls one of the Taylor police department’s “most entertaining stories of life as a police officer.”

Police chief Jeff Straub said the video showed “incredible patience on the part of the officer.”
