and live on Freeview channel 276
It’s not something you would usually expect when you’re out shopping for a new pair of trackies at Sports Direct.
But Lady Puddington has practically moved into the store at Fleetwood’s Affinity shopping outlet where she spends most of her days napping and flirting with customers.

One shopper, Kye Cudlip, was browsing the racks when he spotted Lady curled up in her favourite spot.
“Mate, is that...a cat?,” he asked a member of staff.
“Oh yeah, she’s in here everyday. Stays for about seven hours. We’re fine with it. She just chills.”
Kye added: “I had to laugh seeing her there all cosy on the t-shirts. It really made me smile and it was nice to hear the staff were happy for her to be there.”

Vicky Nash, who lives in the area, said the cheeky little kitty also visits her home every day.
“She not technically mine but I've kind of adopted her,” said Vicky.
“We moved opposite Sports Direct in October and she visits every day and comes in our house like she owns the place too.

Vicky has given her the name Lady Puddington and says she is the “sweetest little cat ever”.
She says: “She took it upon herself to just waltz in here one day, eat my dogs food and make herself at home.
“I love the fact she goes into Sports Direct every day to snooze and pester people for attention. What a diva!

“I can't believe she's sleeping on the t-shirts! She's hilarious and so cheeky!”
