Dorchester's curious cat wins over hearts of Dorset town

A cat has achieved local celebrity status after appearing in more than 30 different shops across her town.

Susie moved from Upwey to Dorchester with her owners, Linda and Michael Crow, who were moving in with their daughter, Jenny Graves.

She settled in quickly and has been spotted by hundreds of people across the town, now featuring in postcards promoting Dorchester.

Ms Graves joked: “When Mum and Dad were moving in with us and bringing the cat I thought that Mum and Dad were going to be the problem.

"But actually it does seem to more be the cat.”
