Mystery cat takes regular bus to the shops

I red this in the Daily Mail. Maybe I can take a bus to go vizit Mao in the Pen.


Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.

The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto the busy Walsall to Wolverhampton bus at the same stop most mornings - he then jumps off at the next stop 400m down the road, near a fish and chip shop.

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot's poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: "It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn't seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

"The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don't think any of the passengers noticed.

We HAVE to get Mao out of jail. I'm a ball of nerves knowing he's in there. I think I would even try to take the bus and brave the Out of Doors. That cat is brave and smart!

Dear Skeezix,
Of course Macavity takes the bus. It sure beats walking to the fish and chip shop.
White cats are just BRILLIANT!
