Meet Pumpkin, the mischievous feline who has stolen the hearts of customers at the Tesco supermarket in Norwich, UK. Despite being a beloved regular at the store, Pumpkin faced a surprising ban after being labeled a “hindrance and a pain” by the staff, sparking local headlines.
The ban, however, triggered a wave of support from customers who threatened to boycott the store unless Pumpkin was welcomed back. Although the store’s policy kept him from venturing inside, Pumpkin could often be spotted lounging by the sliding doors, not far from his home with owner Jo Harding.
Fast forward two months, and Pumpkin has boldly defied the ban, once again found enjoying a nap on his favorite self-checkout kiosk. Jo, Pumpkin’s owner, wasn’t surprised by his rebellious behavior, describing him as a total diva.
Pumpkin’s charm resonated so strongly with customers that Jo decided to immortalize his antics in a dedicated Facebook group. The page boasts a fan base of over 3,000, where people can keep track of Pumpkin’s whereabouts and adventures.
Here’s to Pumpkin, the supermarket sensation, basking in his newfound fame and continuing to delight his growing fan base!
