Police in Hanoi have seized a truck carrying over a tonne of cats smuggled from China to sell to restaurants in northern Vietnam.

After receiving a tip, police searched the truck and discovered the cats inside.

Police say all the cats were from China.

Photos in a local newspaper show the felines crammed into wooden crates, with some legs and tails poking out.

Cat meat is considered a delicacy, particularly in northern Vietnam, where it is called "little tiger" and is considered good luck.
