Cat Refuses To Leave Supermarket No Matter How Many Times He's Kicked Out



You can take him outside. You can ask him to leave. But he'll just come back. Stronger. Angrier. Fluffier.

Since last year, a mysterious cat has been surprising shoppers in England, regularly appearing on one grocery store's shelves despite repeated removal attempts by staff.

3. A very simple solution by the store manager

First install a cat door to office, buy a keyboard for the desk, and then open a newspaper. It may not stop the cat from being in the store, but chances are he would be easily contained.

4. Reminds me of the old song "...but the cat came back the very next day"

"Now old Mr. Johnson had troubles of his own
He had an old yellow cat that wouldn't leave home
Tried everything he knew to do to keep the cat away
Took him up to Canada and told him for to stay. .

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away."

...

"They sneaked into the shop with the butcher not around
And they dropped him in the hopper where the meat was ground
The old cat disappeared with a blood-curdling shriek
And that shop's hamburger tasted furry for a week. .

But the cat came back
The very next day the old cat came back
Thought he was a goner, but the cat came back
`Cause he wouldn't stay away."

Somebody has to make sure that alien mice and rats aren't stealing the cheese. That 's the cat's job.
