Stowmarket Tesco cat Oscar relaxes in trolley’s child seat and thousands react on Facebook
A photo of a supermarket cat has gained more than one thousand clicks on social media.
Stowmarket feline Oscar, also known as ‘the Tesco cat’, received 1,200 likes on Facebook for an adorable photo taken by a grocery shopper.
In the photo, Oscar can be seen lounging in a trolley’s child seat in a very relaxed manner.
Julia Gridely, who took the photo, said: “I was just coming out of Tesco after a small shop and Oscar caught my eye, lying there in the sun.
“It just really made me smile. Such a lovely thing to see and I just had to take a photo.
“Oscar is always popping up in photos on Facebook and he is a very loved and popular cat in the local community.
“We’re a nation of pet lovers and I knew a photo like that would just bring a smile to everyone’s face.”
Oscar can often be spotted at Stowmarket’s Tesco Superstore on Cedars Link Road and he tends to occupy the area near the Click and Collect department.
Tesco worker Kiara James said that Oscar has been known to stroll into the shop from time to time and requires coaxing out of the supermarket.
She said: “I work on Click and Collect so we see Oscar quite a lot - he’s constantly chilling all day with us.
“The customers absolutely love him. Children who collect the shopping with their parents get so excited to see him.
“It’s nice for us workers too, when you’ve had a bit of rubbish day you can just go out, give him a stroke and it just makes your day a little bit better.”
