There's been several stories like this. Anyone remember the white cat from a few years back? He caught a bus every day outside his house and got off at the chippy. He'd hang around until the chippy man gave him a bit of fish then catch the next bus home.  :evillaugh:

This story had been posted on Purrs a few times (seems we're all a sucker for they're independent nature....) so I thought some of you might want to commemorate Casper.

RIP Casper, you were an amazing character.

 :( Awww that's so sad.  I know near my sis there is a cat who - given chance is always getting in cars sitting at the bus stop, going into the hairdressers and houses a very sociable cat and the owners were always out picking him up in the car, thankfully it seems they are now keeping him closer to home.

RIP little Casper xxxx

Thanks Christine, wasn't sure whether I should or not so left it. It is really sad; I love the independence cats display but sadly it can leave them vulnerable with thoughtless people about.

I think there's three alone in this section; Casper certainly provoked a lot of interest and admiration among the feline loving community.
