Hi Mys, funny clip, the owners could attach the fare in a little bag round his collar if the other passengers complained. Now personally I wouldn't let my pet travel alone like that as I would worry that he'd never find his way home, he defintely isn't big enough to carry the fare, and the likelihood is that some thoughtless passenger would probably trample him to death. So I keep him at home where he belongswhistle

Hi Thea!

Yes not only was it amusing but it also reached the news here in Italy. I heard it on television just half an hour ago and found it online to share here lol

I always had cats until the last one passed away at the ripe age of 18 just over a year ago and they were always indoors with me. They were puuuurrrrfectly happy too and I would never have let them out of my site and allowed them to wander like that one does surrender

I have never heard of such a thing.And people say animals are dumb,no way they are smarter than us sometimes. Look at Casper hitching a comfy seat everyday.How cute,I would not have ever expected to see such a thing and never have. I have no pets after my dog had to be put down years ago ,I still feel the pain of missing him.I am sure people look forward to seeing Casper though.....I know I would.


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

They are definately smarter than us and Casper beats many of us!
He goes out every day and goes for a ride and then returns home and finds his meal prepared - no shopping, no cooking, no bills, no queues, no... a GREAT life! thumbup

I hope I come back as a cat wink


myLot reputation of 94/100. Capsicum (943)   ranked 760 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

What a nice thought huh.I am not sure that we can change what we are in our second time around. Just improve from the mistakes we made in this one or any other you may remember. But Casper gives me a strong feeling that ,we may come back as animals.
That's reincarnation though ,I strongly believe , a lot would call me crazy. But to each his own. I hope you get your wish ,in your passingthumbup.


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I think if we could make all the improvements then it wouldn't be far off from a cat's life - and they get nine of them too whistle


myLot reputation of 94/100. Capsicum (943)   ranked 760 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Well I don't know about having 9 or how many. I am a firm believer in reincarnation. Every life we live is suppose to be a step towards improving the next. This is just my belief,that I push on no one. Cats are cute and cuddly so ,I guess it would be nice to be pampered all daylol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

It would be puuuuurrrrrrrr-fect! lol

Oh the cat looks cutelol! I wonder if my dogs can do that heherolleyes..

Maybe the cat loves watching the view from a mobile. I know my dogs like to pop their heads out the car window every time they're riding a vehicle.


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I've seen dogs foing that. hey seem tolove all that fresh breeze passing - but I'm always scared they mightstick their heads out just a bit too far and hit something OUCH! confused

If yours goes on the bus it wouldn't have that problem as the open part of the window is usually much higher up lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. iskayz (3145)   ranked 12 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

Well then my dogs would probably hate riding a bus cause they can't stick their heads out in the window with their tongue sticking out too hehew00t. They love doing that!lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

They best stick to a ride in your car then lol

Now how come their tongue does not go dry with all that fresh air passing so quickly? blink

happyThis is a real phenomenon right there..i guess some cats have really weird attraction or habits, if they have kick him off or mistreat him there, there's no way he would comeback for another ride. thanks to those people who took care of this cat. He must a true wandererhappy. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

That cat is quite old too.
Great how the other passengers let him know when it's time to get off and make sure he doesn't miss his stop lol

You can tell this is not the US, they would never allow it. My cats travel by themselves, but only on foot. I had a favorite cat go missing years ago. I became convinced that he got in a car, or a moving van or something. He loved to ride. He even chased me when I rode a bike until I would line the front basket with a towel and give him a ride while the kids were out riding their bikes. I did remove him from one moving van, so that is why I think he may have hitched a ride to Texas.


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

I can see you on your bike with him in the basket - what a lovely scene! lol

Sad that he had that habit which took him away from you sad

Hi Diana, it seems this kitty knows where he wants to go. It's so cute to see him get on and off and then go across the road. That is just so neat. It's really nice that the bus driver lets the cat get on the bus to go for a ride. I would be worried sick if I had a cat to take off to jump on a bus. lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

It is cute and so much so, it even made the news here in Italy. He's famous! lol

Mine both never went further than the windowsill and that was fine by me or I would have panicked. I couldn't bear the thought of them being out somewhere and coming to some harm doh


myLot reputation of 95/100. OreoCookie3 (22476)  3 years ago

That kitty sure is lucky to have a driver that doesn't mind a kitty on their bus. If I had a kitty I wouldn't let it out either... too many things could happen. I see cats hit on the highway all the time. Good for you for keeping good care of your fur baby. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

The driver AND the other passengers look after Casper when he goes on his trip it seems.

I looked after both my fur babies - mother and son - right up to the last minute. They both were almost 18 when they moved on, one two years after the other, the last one, the son, just over a year ago cry

Hahahahahahah what a little champion! My favourite line in the article is this part: "Casper's owner Susan Finden, 55, who picked him from a rescue home in 2002, said he had always been a free spirit." He's always been a free spirit! So, he's too old for the pot and booze and has moved onto buses now has he? lol When I was in my early teens, we had a family cat that LOVED the car. My Mum ended up at work to find the cat in the back seat of the car asleep on many occasions and it uswed to drive her crazy! lol.


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

lol Yep that's how he gets his trip!

Oh I cn imagine her plight when finding the cat in the car once she arrived at work - and then was there for th whole day confused So the cat had to wait until she finished before he could return home?


myLot reputation of 98/100. James72 (7104)   ranked 763 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago

More times than not she had to turn around and take the little bugger back home straight away, but from memory he got to do work experience with her a few times at least! lol Man that was a funny cat. He loved to eat tomatoes too!


myLot reputation of 95/100. mysdianait (20633)   ranked 848 out of 19,255 in questions & answers  3 years ago
