A bus riding cat in the UK

Wolverhampton UK - The Sun reports on a pleasant little story of a bus riding cat.

Macavity, the name given to the cat by the bus drivers, has been riding the bus since January. He rides a few times a week and knows exactly where he's going, a bus stop near a fish & chips store.

Drivers and passengers now think of this as normal. Macavity is also a well mannered passenger beside the fact he doesn't pay to ride. He hops on, sits up front quietly and then hops off at his destination.

The skeptic in me wonders how long before some whiny busy body complains about Macavity's bus riding habit. It's bound to happen, especially in this day and age of people looking to be offended by something. I hope it doesn't happen as I'd rather ride with a bus full of Macavitys' than ride with most of the riders on my local bus route.
