When I first began daily pick up from my local chemist whilst recovering from heroin addiction, some years ago, a cat called Casper would come in, sometimes spending all day there. The customers got to know the charismatic cat.
Last year, rtevisitting the old chemist I saw news articles cut out from papers across the world. Caspers owners had moved to Devon. He would quietly queue with passengers waiting for the bus riding around Plymouth. He became a global superstar.
Yesterday, sadly skreeworld heard and has to report that Casper was killed by a hit and run driver.
Caspers life on the buses came to international attention last year when it turned out that, for 4 years, he had been riding Devons' city bus no.3 , passing the dockyard and naval base en route. The drivers grew to know him and let him off at his correct stop.
