A pet cat has been bringing joy to Scots shoppers <\/a>at a Tesco supermarket.<\/p>\n The friendly feline, understood to be named Ra, has been spotted posing for the camera and sleeping in boxes at a local Tesco <\/a>in Rutherglen, Glasgow. In recent months, Ra has captured the attention of customers, with dozens posting their snaps of him in his favourite spots.<\/p>\n One local, Stewart Walker, said Ra – who is also known as the Mayor of Burnside – is a “friendly” cat <\/a>who makes everyone smile.<\/p>\n Speaking to our sister title, Glasgow Live<\/a>, he said: “Ra is such a friendly wee thing. He is no bother and just finds his space in the foyer of Tesco Burnside.<\/p>\n “I\u2019ve driven in early morning when he\u2019s been at the wee crossing in the car park and waits until you stop, then he greets <\/a>you.<\/p>\n “If it\u2019s warm and sunny he will lie up near the wall next to the ATM <\/a>sunbathing.<\/p>\n “He actually makes you smile. Bumping into the Mayor AKA RA <\/a>he lifts what could have been a bad day and makes you smile.<\/p>\n “Everybody stops to talk to him, and the kids love to see him about. They pet him – he\u2019s just so friendly with everyone.<\/p>\n “Hopefully, he gets his own Facebook page and becomes an extra member of the Tesco <\/a>staff. He could be the community champion cat.”<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.

Everyone talks to him.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n “I’ve even seen him walking <\/a>across the zebra crossing, and the driver stopped!<\/p>\n![\"Ra](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1751879959_846_0_CapturePNG.png\")
