Family wake up to find a fox asleep on top of their microwave

One London family was shocked when they came down to the kitchen one morning to find a fox asleep on top of their microwave.

Kim Fryer was at home in Mitcham when her daughter discovered the fox early in the morning.

She said: "My daughter found him at 7am and called up to me. I came down and spotted this little fox curled up on top of the microwave!

"I have five cats and a dog so obviously I have a cat flap. He must have crawled under the gate and through the cat flap.

"A couple of my plants were smashed and there was mud everywhere.

"She put the light on and one eye opened but he didn't move. We could tell there was something wrong with him."

The family called the RSPCA, who came and collected him.
