Stubborn Cat sat on a high-speed train at London Euston Station causing a 2 hour delay.

The feline appeared unbothered as it alighted the train, according to station staff, who described it as “swaggering off” into the night as though it had other places to be. It is still not known how the cat reached the top of the train in the first place.
