Guide dogs and guide dogs in training are allowed to be carried on buses, if under the supervision of their care-giver. Other pets are not allowed.

Simon suggested “Just say he’s a guide dog.” and “When they say no, he’s a cat say yes, but the blind people can’t see that.”. Also by cat years Oliver should get a senior discount.

Oliver has arthritis for which he is getting monthly Vetaortyl injections, and his kidneys are failing so we’ve changed his diet to Hills Feline K/D, and have just started him on Fortekor tablets.

I’m not sure how old Oliver is, but he’s getting on. He was a full grown cat when he turned up and moved in over 12 years ago.
