They call the friendly little tabby Moose the East Hill Publix Cat, because, well, he really likes hanging out in the parking lot of the 12th Avenue Publix.

He's there every day, for hours on end, meandering through the parking lot, often near the pedestrian median where all foot action is leading into the store in East Hill. He'll rub up against legs. He'll sit and ponder and pose. He'll lay down and stretch out and get sun on his furry belly.

Some people have left him food, thinking he's hungry.

Others have even tried to take him home, thinking he was a stray they were rescuing from abandonment.
