I was away for the weekend and met the adorable Lincoln, also known as the Tesco cat. No, unfortunately he's not for sale for £8.50. I found out that he visits Tesco every day, sleeps in the entrance and has his own Facebook profile for local sightings. He's recently done a charity calender and now has his own book deal!
I don't have one at my local shop but a few comments mentioned their own local versions of Lincoln. Anyone else have a local supermarket cat??

We have Sophie the tesco cat. She sits just inside the front door on all the seasonal stuff they store there. She has her own Facebook page reminding people she isn't lost or hungry and in fact lives near by; and don't worry if she looks ill, she's just old.

My town had a petrol station cat. She had a loving home, but she preferred sitting on the bags of charcoal outside the petrol station. Sadly, she passed away recently. There is also a cat that likes to sleep on the chairs in A&E.

Had one at a Tesco’s near a housesitting gig I was doing. Her name was Ivy and she’d just hang out by the door wearing a collar that told people not to feed her

Our shop cat was struck by a car last week, we’ve all cried in the chiller several times.
RIP Ziggy, my baby girl 💖

We've got Henry at work. He usually sits on a wheelie bin just inside one of the side entrances.

We also have a Tesco cat.. George. And he's orange too. He just wanders round the carpark all day waiting to be made a fuss of.

My family's local supermarket had a cat for years until she was unfortunately run over in their car park. The shop now has a plaque dedicated to her next to the customer service desk.

Our own Tesco has Milo, a wonderful and quiet black void who is usually up for polite scritches and always keeps out the way. Always great to see him, though he's not been around much during the winter months.
