SOBO cat

SOBO is the trendy name for Southbourne, where I live. The SOBO cat is a ginger tom minus its tail, which has achieved fame locally. SOBO Dave (or Lennon maybe: he has various aliases) used to sit on the counter at One Stop. It was a "deliberate" decision by the owners of One Stop to ban him on 'elf'nsafety grounds. Here Dave is seen "deliberating" whether to wait for the Chinese takeaway away to open. They're not so fussy about h&s (Help! I hope they don't sell fried cat with noodles!) Or whether to try another shop. Dave has a perfectly good home of his own. He just likes to wander. He's a careful cat and only crosses the road with humans who press the crossing button for him. He recognises the beep.

With thanks to ApolloFly for the "deliberate " theme of Mono Monday.
