Mystery Cat Rides Bus in England

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on Apr 10th 2007 at 2:00PM

From the So-cute-I-want-to-vomit department: a British cat nicknamed "Macavity" has taken to boarding a city bus in Wolverhampton, England several times a week. It hops on and rides until the next stop, where it gets off at a fish-n-chips shop (seriously).

I'm going to train my cat to do this so I won't have to go to the store and buy it food or litter. Seriously, she sleeps in our house, scratches our furniture, and does nothing for us in return. It's about time she starts earning her keep. Regulators: mount up!

Justin, Justin. So sad that the story makes you nauseous and enterprising at the same time. If your cat gives 'nothing in return', I'm sure there's a more loving home for your cat. You'll both be happier. There are many who would gladly adopt your cat, so start searching. Nobody's forcing the two of you to stay together. In most homes, cats own the humans and it's a small tradeoff for not having to walk them or bathe them. The love they give is immeasureable, provided one is observant and not comparing them to dogs. Yes, they're described as 'a pillow that eats', but when they give you love, it's special. Most cats can be trained to avoid scratching furniture with a scratching post and deterrent spray for your couch.
I realize that cat lovers are a different breed of human and nobody's condemning you for not being one. (Why did you get one in the first place?) Chalk it up to 'irreconcilable differences' and move on.
