A pet cat has been bringing joy to Scots shoppers at a Tesco supermarket.
The friendly feline, understood to be named Ra, has been spotted posing for the camera and sleeping in boxes at a local Tesco in Rutherglen, Glasgow. In recent months, Ra has captured the attention of customers, with dozens posting their snaps of him in his favourite spots.
One local, Stewart Walker, said Ra – who is also known as the Mayor of Burnside – is a “friendly” cat who makes everyone smile.

Speaking to our sister title, Glasgow Live, he said: “Ra is such a friendly wee thing. He is no bother and just finds his space in the foyer of Tesco Burnside.
“I’ve driven in early morning when he’s been at the wee crossing in the car park and waits until you stop, then he greets you.
“If it’s warm and sunny he will lie up near the wall next to the ATM sunbathing.
“He actually makes you smile. Bumping into the Mayor AKA RA he lifts what could have been a bad day and makes you smile.
“Everybody stops to talk to him, and the kids love to see him about. They pet him – he’s just so friendly with everyone.
“Hopefully, he gets his own Facebook page and becomes an extra member of the Tesco staff. He could be the community champion cat.”

Another local, Laura, also shared a snap of Ra on social media.
She said: “He’s such a friendly wee cat. Everyone talks to him.
“I see him chill out in the trolleys a few times as well. The trolleys that have the wee seats for kids and he lies in them.
“I’ve even seen him walking across the zebra crossing, and the driver stopped!
“He loves the attention. I see him every time I’m there – that’s about five times a week.”
