What a lazy kitty, who is about to get very fat I suspect.

Yeah! It might be worth a trip to check it out.:approve:
 
One of the comments to that story is a little disturbing:

my Cat Cleopatra gets a limousine to Asda to get her favourite biscuits...
Freeloading cats hopping a ride without paying their fare is one thing. Cats riding limousines is going way to far.

:smile: Delightful story.
 
That is too funny! I hope the idea catches on with other cats. It sure would make riding the bus a lot more interesting.
 
Ah, but has anyone considered the possibility that the cat is really a witch who just doesn't want to pay her fare?

What, just going one stop to the chippy?! Got to be the least evil witch I've ever heard of.
