Furr goodness sake, let our cat back in, say locals

Welcome to Newtongrange's Co-op

- By Elizabeth Hunter

A CAT that locals say was banned from a supermarket where it likes to sleep by the tills has been allowed back in — thanks to a petition by citizens.

Mo has become a familiar face in the Midlothian town of Newtongrange, especially in the Co-op where the friendly feline spent the majority of its days.

Staff report seeing Mo appear every day at 6am when it opens, before entering and enjoying the attention of customers and leaving at closing time.

But after a complaint to head office, locals say staff were forced to ban Mo — much to the dismay of many shoppers.
