A Christchurch man claims to have captured on film one of three kittens that he thinks were living in the ruins of Christ Church Cathedral with their mother.

Bernard Anderson said he was walking past the earthquake-damaged cathedral in central Christchurch in May when he saw a black cat leave the building followed by three kittens. "She wasn't as well nourished as domestic cats. She was smaller. It seemed quite obvious that they were living in the cathedral."

The kittens were curious about his presence and he was able to photograph one with his cellphone camera, he said. The slightly blurry images show what appears to be a very fluffy black kitten sitting on the pavement.

The derelict cathedral, which has been open to the elements for several years, also provides a home for dozens of pigeons.
