"Sammie the supermarket cat 'gets memorial: 'He was always in the way here'

Usually, stray cats in supermarkets are not highly valued, but Sammie was an exception. Was, because a few days ago the cat died. To the chagrin of the Albert Heijn in the Kruidenwijk in Almere, where Sammie could always be found. On Twitter, Pascal Vanenburg tells about Sammie from Almere. ,, As long as I've lived here, now about 11 years, there was a cat in or in front of the supermarket here in the neighborhood. Sammy. And by lying down, I really mean lying down. Stretched out, can't get any movement." Did you have to go there with your full shopping cart? Bad luck, Sammie was lying there. Sammie was a cat of the good life. “If the sun shone, he was outside. But when it was cold, he would walk in and find a place there. If it was really cold, he would just lay in the doorway under those blowers. Did you have to go there with your full shopping cart? Bad luck, Sammie was lying there." The animal's laziness was also its charm to those who knew Sammie. “Sammie was also willing to be stroked, cuddled, whatever. It was always a shock to people outside the neighborhood, because they thought there was a dead cat in or in front of the store. Until Sammie really didn't get up a few days ago.""
