In The News
Macavity is the name given by several bus drivers from the West Midlands, United Kingdom to a white odd-eyed cat which, since January 2007, has been observed to regularly use the local bus service on its own. Macavity's fur is reported to be completely white, he has a green left eye and a blue right eye, and he wears a purple collar. His owner and true name are unknown. Commenting on the mysterious cat, bus driver Bill Khunkhun commented:
| “ | As soon as I open the doors he jumps on. He seems to like it. It was quite strange at first but now seems normal. He is the perfect passenger. The only problem is he never pays. | ” |
Since January 2007, Travel West Midlands drivers on the number 331 Walsall to Willenhall bus route have observed Macavity running to catch their bus at a stop on Churchill Road near a row of 1950s semi-detached houses, two or three times a week. He originally escaped attention by running underneath the seats. After travelling some 400 metres, he routinely alights at the next stop, located near a row of shops. The Daily Mail newspaper has speculated that his possible destination could be a nearby fish and chip shop.
