You can take him outside. You have the option of asking him to leave. But he’ll simply return. Stronger. Angrier. Fluffier.

Since last year, a strange cat has been stunning consumers in England, consistently appearing on the shelves of one grocery store despite repeated attempts by workers to evict him.

The stubborn kitty was first spotted at the Sainsbury’s shop in November, having perfected his unusual routine of hanging around, being removed by security, and then strolling straight back in.

The cat has been kicked out several times since then, yet he still visits his favorite store.

“He lives next door and he comes in every day, all the time,” a Sainsbury’s spokesperson told The Telegraph. “He is not allowed to be here.”

The cat has become something of an online celebrity as a result of his bizarrely particular devotion, even winning the title of “Animal of the Week” from Time Out London.

To the locals, he’s simply the friendly neighborhood illegal shop cat.

“He was flat out on the mat yesterday beside the door under the warm fans,” a Sainsbury’s customer said on Facebook. “Everyone was stopping to tickle him.”
