The renowned Morrisons tabby cat, Brutus, died with his owners in Saltney on January 16
after suffering with Polycystic Kidney Disease.
His heartbroken owners, Claire and Adam Owens, decided that the eight-year-old cat would
be put to sleep after Christmas following a relapse from kidney failure.
Brutus was regularly seen sat by the entrance greeting customers and falling asleep in
trolley seats.
Several Chester shoppers have been sending in their farewell wishes to the famous
supermarket cat on Twitter.
