Garfield has become a much loved popular pet among shoppers in Sainsbury’s where he gets lots of fuss as he settles on the sofa of the in-store Virgin department.

He has his own Facebook page with more than 5,000 fans but hit the headlines in the summer when he was banned from the store after he scratched a young customer

That was in August - but by September luckily there was a change of heart and he was allowed to return to his favourite napping couch in the Virgin Holidays store.

Garfield is owned by Ely couple Dave Willers and Tina Battaglia who helped him to fill in our getting to know you answers.
