Tesco Cat

I've come to stay at my parents for a few days and my brother took me up to Tesco. Been a while since I have been to this one but they still have a cat in the doorway. I'm certain each Tesco has one. I know I have met the one in Orkney. I'm also certain this particular Tesco has always had a cat. I know I have seen one here regularly before, many years ago when I used to live in these parts but I don't think this is the same one! 

Part of my theory is confirmed by this:
