• A high school teacher in Queensland, Australia, has taken to identifying as a cat, 7News-TV reports.
"Miss Purr," as she prefers to be known, teaches at Marsden State High School, where she "screeches and growls when (her students) don't listen," one person posted on Facebook.
She also hisses and licks the backs of her hands during class and wears a headband with cat ears.
One concerned mother said Miss Purr had made her daughter "purr for a lolly."
The Department of Education said the school was aware of the complaints and the principal is speaking with the teacher.
