I thought they wanted happy stories on OC, but Casper went unnoticed.

Casper is just too cool to not have any notice, so for anyone interested in a story that doesn't involve abuse, neglect, mans inhumanity or death and destruction:

Casper, who is 12 years old, boards the No3 service at 10.55am from outside his home in Plymouth, Devon, and travels the entire 11-mile route before returning home about an hour later.

On the route, the cat passes an historic dockyard and naval base, a city centre, several suburbs and the city's red light district.

He has been making the journey for so long that all First Bus drivers have now been told to look out for him to ensure he gets off at the right stop.


Enjoy!

Yes, great story. Cats always fascinate me. I remember reading about another UK cat who regularly takes the bus to and from a fish & chips joint. I've never read about an American cat taking the bus. Guess their not into mass transit.
