Apparently a Morrisons down there used to be frequented by a cat that hung around the entrance, sat on trolleys etc. It died. Now the owner is trying to get the public to stump up 5 grand to 'immortalise' their pet in statue form outside their local supermarket: Brutus "The Morrisons Cat" 1 February at 16:08 · I'm trying to raise money for a statue of Brutus at Morrisons in his memory but for some reason I don't think Facebook actually sends posts with links in to all his followers' news feeds, therefore his Just Giving page isn't really getting out there as much as it could. Here is the link below but I've put a space in it. Just copy it if you can into your browser and remove the space before 'com'. Thanks so much www.justgiving. com/crowdfunding/Brutus Or PayPal email address:... See more Ridiculous enough, but the cause was supposedly taken up by certain Chester fans who suggested trying to organise a collection before their next home game in honour of a dead cat: http://devachat.freeforums.net/thread/58/bucket-collection-applause-update Thank you to all who contributed to the discussion on the other thread devachat.freeforums.net/thread/37/rip-sir-ken-morrison As mentioned we have sourced buckets and now someone has said they can sort out laminated pictures of Brutus and Ken for them. All donations will go to the crowdfunder that has raised over £2300 so far.A few have said they will be doing the applause on the 85 minute so thank you - and I hope many of you join in.Does anyone have contacts in the local papers who can help raise the profile of this? In case you're wondering the Ken whose memory they also apparently want to honour is Sir Ken Morrison the former chairman of Morrisons who also died recently. He was from Yorkshire and had nothing at all to do with Chester FC. His death seemingly just compounded the tragedy of poor Brutus's passing to the extent some Chester fans feel they need to hold a minute's applause for him. Evidently most Chester fans are ripping the proverbial out of these ideas and the initial suggestion must surely have been a wind up. Some are taking it deadly seriously though so tomorrow may well see some football fans in one corner of the UK collect money for a dead cat and applauding a dead grocer. The crowdfunding effort is sitting at 2,497 quid if anyone wants to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/brutus Weʼre raising £5,000 to have a statue of Brutus the Morrisons Cat made in his memory and placed in Morrisons, Saltney where he can still greet his adoring fans. Brutus has won the hearts of thousands of local Morrisons shoppers as well as his Facebook followers from all over the world (www.facebook.com/brutusthesaltneycat). He's been visiting the store since it was built in 2010 and became a familiar face to those who regularly shopped in Morrisons, Saltney. He delighted children and adults alike with his cheeky 'cattitude', investigating shopping in people's trolleys as they left the store, jumping into cars to investigate, sneaking down the pet food aisle to see what kind of offers were on, and just generally being there daily for everyone to love and fuss. He had a gorgeous fluffy face and strutted around like he owned the place, oh and he loved the camera! In October 2013 he was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. It's a condition he would have had since birth and sadly there is no cure. We managed this for 3 years with special food, daily medication and regular checks at Ben Jones vets. In January 2016 he became poorly and ended up in Chester Gates veterinary hospital. Luckily he pulled through that time and won their pet of the month award. His condition remained stable for another year however sadly New Years Eve 2016 was the last time Brutus was to visit Morrisons. He took another bad turn and this time, although he had another visit to Chester Gates he didn't recover and on Monday 16th January 2017 we had to make the extremely heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep. We are devastated, but there are also thousands of devastated fans locally, nationally and internationally! The number of messages I've received have been overwhelming. It makes us happy to know that he brightened so many peoples lives. We thought that a memorial to honour Brutus is only fitting, so that people can still say hello to him and have something to remember him by. Many people have expressed their wish for something to be placed in Morrisons, so this is what we are raising the money for, plus also for local animal charities. My favourite bit of this is the comments on the Crowdfunding page by people who have donated - "I live in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and may never see the store or the statue. I like to think, though, that I can help it become a reality that will honor Brutus "fur-ever."" "It always made me smile when I saw Brutus in store at Morrisons. I took a photo Christmas 2016 sitting on a pile of boxes he looked like a king on his throne" " I never met you Brutus but you made so many lives better. I hope you are plying with my niece Tabitha up there xxx" "RIP Gorgeous Brutus. Gone but never forgotten I never met you but as a cat lover & morrisons colleague you touched my heart " "a lovely cat my little lad loved to stroke" "Brutus will be sorely missed. I will stroke the head of Brutus' statue as did with him. He brought a smile to my face with every trip to Morrisons." "We'll miss seeing Brutus, he was the reason we started shopping in Morrisons Saltney. Will be lovely to see a statue there. Their little furry feet leave imprints on our hearts xxxx" "So sorry to loose such a distinguished gentleman but all the best in reaching your target." Some people have actually donated £50.00 for cat they've never met who hung around a shop they've never visited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 IS ANYONE WHO HAS A CAR ABLE TO DO ME A FAVOUR IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO PLEASE? Let's have a guess....... A Weirdo with car wash fetish needs to wash your car now ? B In an action of generosity your insane millionaire friend is at a nearby petrol station wanting to fill as many cars as possible in the next hour at his expense to get into the Guinness Book of Records C A female wants a cheap (well free actually) taxi in exchange for them sitting beside you explaining the trials and tribulations in their life that me they have to get somewhere now, which they probably don't as they will be making a drama out of bugger all. Don't think I will be dashing away from work any minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Similarly, found a local "try and sell your stuff" type forum. One lassie was on asking if anyone with a van was free for an hour to travel a few miles to pick up a couch, then travel for a few more miles to drop it off because "her other transport had fallen through". Now I'm sure a few public-spirited types would be happy to do that for nowt, but given that most people with a van use it to make a living - and her post made no mention of paying for this favour - she can swivel (and I don't have a van anyway). Looked at her profile to see if she was a "wid", but all I can see is pictures of weans, Irish flags and Celtic tops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxidermy looks easy thread for this pish Since I see this has been brought up already I'll have a chortle at the anarchy symbol in that Chester forum's header and how creepy Brutus (the painted version) looks It looks like a Gremlin that got wet and had a three course dinner at four in the morning.
