Awesome. We had a supermarket cat local to us. He was called Brutus. He even had a bronze statue commissioned in his honour to sit in his favourite spot after he died. He has a FB page also.

A friend of mine’s cat used to go visit the local church during services, which was a distraction.

Isn’t this like having a mouse Roomba? And in a supermarket. Who wouldn’t want that?

Not necessarily. We have 3 cats, only one can be arsed to hunt mice. Same with the previous batch of three cats - only one functional murder machine in the lot.

Until she retired last year, we visited Southwark Cathedral every time we were in London, specifically to greet Doorkins Magnificat.
In addition to totally upstaging speakers, she tended to sleep in the nativity crib.

Came here expecting to be very impressed that a cat opened a supermarket.

We had that problem at our church. It’s why the sign outside says “All people welcome” rather than just “All are welcome.” Unfortunately, cats can’t read.

Wittgenstein’s Observation “If a lion could speak, we couldn’t understand him” has the Davis Corollary, “House cats understand us, but they don’t care unless food.”

Exactly. I don’t trust food stores that don’t have a cat.
We had four cats roaming a rather small house, yet a mouse had no problem with making a home under a wooden TV stand. It had a stash of cat food (the dry type) that it had stolen out of the cat’s dishes. I caught it in a box and released it outside.

It’s the self-serve checkout, and he’s a cat serving himself. Seems reasonable.

Pumpkin’s owner Jo Harding often pops to the shop after work and finds her wayward moggy outside. She tells him to “come home for your tea” and he will trot after her.
Perhaps Pumpkin relishes the shop’s ‘curio-rich’ environment…or all the attention.
