Off to Fins-Purr-y Park? Cat amazes commuters by sitting casually on a seat on The Tube

We've all seen some paw-dropping sights while riding on the London Underground - but none more so than a cat sat on a chair on board a busy Victoria Line route.
The feline, otherwise known as Kitty, was watched by commuters as he nonchalantly relaxed on one of the empty seats.
Business analyst Nick Thompson said of the cat's appearance: "I wasn’t paying particular attention if I’m honest. I was sitting down but then looked up and then noticed that the lady with the camel coat was stroking a cat.
"I thought, yeah, that’s London. At first I thought it was her cat, as he was sitting close to her. Then the lady with the white coat started talking and it was obvious it was her cat – and she had a pet carrier too.
"The carriage wasn’t that busy, however everyone around us was “oohing” and “aahing” at the situation. Kitty groomed himself a couple of times, moved around the seat then sat back down."
Mr Thompson added: "The owner didn’t explain why he was out of the carrier. But to be fair she didn’t need to, it was a lovely thing to see. He didn’t flinch when we stopped at the subsequent stations, with the noise, people getting on and off.
"However when it was their time to get off at Vauxhall, he wouldn’t get in the carrier and she carried him close to her chest."
The purr-fect Tube companion.
