The cat who loves the bus

catcar.jpgDodger the cat, not the Oliver Twist character, has become popular with bus drivers and passengers in Dorset with his trips around the local area near Charmouth.

Owner Fee Jeanes says "We moved here 19 months ago and our house backs onto the bus station. He is an old boy and is very friendly. At first Dodger kept going to the bus station because people there fed him tit-bits and scraps of food. But then he started climbing on board the buses because they are almost like greenhouses when it is sunny. Then last week I found out he had travelled to Charmouth and back, which is a 10 mile round trip."

The bus drivers even now know where to let him off the bus to make sure he gets home safely! His trips on the bus are regularly taken on the laps of other customers and everyone seems to enjoy his company!
