With his graceful posture and jaded demeanor, this cat loves to settle near the cash register and greet customers at the store entrance. However, the employees have decided to chase him away, as they believe the cat’s place is not in the grocery store.

This troubling story takes place in Norwich, Great Britain, at the heart of which is a cat named Pumpkin.

This fluffy six-year-old gives the impression that he has come to the store to work and enchant the customers with the magic of his presence.

He loves to sit among the shelves, right next to the cash register or at the entrance. He enjoys strolling along the counter and engaging with the customers.

Pumpkin’s owner confides that he barely sees his cat after the store opens. The little feline spends all his time in the grocery store near his home.

At first, he was warmly welcomed by the store staff, but later, according to the decision of the store manager, the presence of the animal was hardly compatible with food products, and some sellers were dissatisfied that the cat «stuck his nose» in their work.

This decision sparked strong discontent among the buyers, as they had become attached to the cat.

The customers demanded his return. A petition was launched in favor of the cat and it was signed by more than 2,000 people.

Under immense pressure, the store management was forced to revise their decision.

This incident was widely covered by the local media.

With an army of fans, this tawny cat was able to maintain his honorable place in his favorite store.
