Moscow: Inmates at Russia’s prisons have been known to bribe guards to obtain cellphones. But using cats as couriers? Guards patrolling a prison colony in Russia’s north saw a feline on the fence and it seemed to be carrying something. On a closer look, they found a few cellphones and chargers taped to the cat’s belly.
