Badass Cat Proves He’s The True Owner Of This Supermarket In London

Cats go where they want and do what they want. In the case of one kitty in London, it means going to a supermarket. This cat was first spotted in November while parading around in Sainsbury’s in Brockley. Later on identified as Olly Oliver, this six-year-old had been removed from the premises by store security. But seeing how cats have no fear of laws of man or God (and they’re highly suspicious of this “physics” thing), he’s at it again.
So Oliver is stalking the shelves again and judging Londoners on their shopping. He’s quite famous among the locals, but Sainsbury’s management isn’t trying to capitalize off this free publicity. A store spokesperson said “He lives in the house next door and he’s in here every day, all the time. He’s not allowed to be here, the staff like him, but he is a health and safety risk.” I, for one, wish that more stores had regular cat visitors.

“The cat lives close to shop, 6 years old, had him since he was 6 weeks old, name is Olly Oliver & he has a blue brother,” explained the owner of the cat

He's a health and safety risk to cuteness! Get rid of the cuteness immediately and buy more calorie-laden TV dinners for your lonely, cat-less life. Olly will judge your shopping and find you unworthy.
haha best comment ever!
which is worse? The many rats and mice that Olly Oliver would not slay if banned from the store? or Olly Oliver? I vote OO is preventing disease and destruction!
Shops don't have rats, or else they get shut down.
Well, the sure don't if they've got cats... The attitude toward cats in stores differs from place to place -- in many neighborhoods in New York City, for instance, bodegas usually have cats, because it's basically impossible to keep mice and rats completely out of a place WITHOUT a cat. Cats work better than traps or poison, because mice and rats KNOW they're there and move along. In Boston, where I am, it's probably TECHNICALLY not okay, but, in some neighborhoods, the health inspectors turn a blind eye to it, because of this exact reason. As long as the cat is well-behaved and healthy, and doesn't go toward any food that's NOT in sealed packages, many health inspectors will figure the cat does more good than harm.
You wish. I've been worked in a few shops in London (not Sainsbury) and they had mice. Especially in places like stations, there are mice and they are an issue. But even private shops, like bakeries: they do. And no, they don't get shut.
Don't fool yourself. They have rodents. I'm sure shops try to keep them under control (what better way than a good mouser), but they are there. Not only are they in the grocer's, but they are also in the factories that process and package your food.
Most places to have rats and mice actually. fast food places too
Sorry, I meant "I worked". Changed my sentence and didn't re-read. Apologies.
Garfield?
No, he wouldn't even leave his bed, let alone the house
