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.

据中安在线报道，7月5日清晨，一只小老虎闯进了安徽淮北居民吕某的厨房。

吕某表示，早上5点钟，他被家里两条狗的狂吠吵醒，随后就看到一只“大猫”溜达进了厨房。

他赶紧起床跟了过去，不过没能把它赶走。他只好将其留在那儿，忙着出去干活了。

据悉，吕某在自己家里经营着一个鱼塘，常会有人过来钓鱼。那天下午，一个钓鱼的进厨房去拿钓具时被那“大猫”的咆哮给吓坏了。

民警到后确认其是只小老虎，随后将它捉住送到了当地动物园。
