Meet Mango, the supermarket cat

Squee here

A tabby cat named Mango from Tiverton, England likes to visit his local Tesco supermarket. Shoppers and workers there don't mind it one bit.

From the article:

A tabby cat which made his local Tesco store his second home has become so popular his fans and admirers have set him up with his own Facebook page.

Mango has become a huge hit with Tesco customers in Tiverton, Devon after setting up house in the store's foyer four years ago.

dry cat food, wet cat food, dust-free kitty litter, flea collars, scratching posts, laser pointers, remote-control mice, chew toys...and who can forget...the [font color=green]chronic catnip![/font] (no swag shake and stems for Mango after all).

Those dang hoomans can't be trusted to buy quality purrchandise.

Cats don't say please!

They say, "Toonaz canz ails all mine. Minions, you may approach..... And open cans for me!"

Supermarkets have lots and lots of empty boxes. A purrrrfect place for a cat to hang out.

and the board of health looks the other way, even in food stores, because they know the cat is keeping the rodent population down and rodents are far worse than anything a cat contributes.

I love store cats just on general principles.

where they asked her if she liked cats, or was allergic to cats. They had an office cat.
