G4alien's 365 & 1/4 的生活空間

Quote from: Dailymail

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot's poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: "It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn't seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

"The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don't think any of the passengers noticed.

"Because I had seen it jump off the day before I carried on driving and sure enough when I stopped just down the road he jumped off - I don't know why he would catch the bus but he seems to like it. I told some of the other drivers on this route and they have seen him too."

Since January, when the cat first caught the bus he has done it two or three times a week and always gets on and off at the same stops.

Passenger, Paul Brennan, 19, who catches the 331 to work, said: "I first noticed the cat a few weeks ago. At first I thought it had been accompanied by its owner but after the first stop it became quite clear he was on his own.

"He sat at the front of the bus, waited patiently for the next stop and then got off. It was was quite strange at first but now it just seems normal. I suppose he is the perfect passenger really - he sits quietly, minds his own business and then gets off."

新鮮世／英國貓咪會自己搭公車　固定站上下車很神秘

東森新聞報

許多人都很喜歡貓咪，英國有一隻神秘貓，每個月都會自己去搭公車，而且都在同一站上車，在同一個地方下車，讓當地民眾感到十分神奇。

英國有一隻貓咪，不但長的可愛，還會自己搭公車！這隻白貓，每天都會搭乘英國331公車，而且都只搭一站就下車。

公車乘客原本以牠是跟隨主人一同上下車，不過日子久了卻發現，這隻小貓是自己來搭車，還只挑選公車前端的座位坐下。331路公車往來英格蘭瓦索爾和伍爾弗漢普頓，司機說，今年一月第一次發現這隻貓咪搭車，之後一個月會搭兩到三次，這隻貓都在邱吉爾路那站上車，在下一站下車，當地有許多商店，包括一家炸魚和薯條店。

這隻乖巧的貓咪搭公車去做什麼？為何會自己固定搭同班次，同站上下車都令人不解，由於行事神秘，也被當地人取了「神秘貓」的綽號。
