Casper, the cat, catches same bus everyday

London, Jul 30: Casper, a 12-year-old pet cat, has caught the same bus regularly for four years.The feline boards the No3 service at 10.55am from outside his home in Plymouth, Devon, and travels the complete 11-mile route before returning home.

Casper has become so known that all First Bus drivers have now been told to look out for him to ensure he gets off at the right stop, reports The Telegraph.

Susan Finden, a care worker who is Casper's owner, said, "Casper has always disappeared for hours at a time but I never understood where he was going.

"I called him Casper because he had a habit of vanishing like a ghost. But then some of the drivers told me he had been catching the bus.

"I couldn't believe it at first, but it explains a lot. He loves people and we have a bus stop right outside our house so that must be how he got started - just following everyone on.

"I used to catch the odd bus too so maybe he saw me and got curious what I was doing.

"Casper is quite quick for his age so he just hops on to the bus before the doors close. He catches the 10.55 am service and likes to sit on the back seat."

Rob Stonehouse (corr), one of the drivers on the route, said, "He usually just curls up at the back of the bus. Sometimes he nips between people's legs but he never causes any trouble."
