Hundreds of adoring fans have offered their condolences after hearing the news that Roy, the legendary Home Bargains cat from Tondu, has been put to sleep. Roy's owner, Brian Aubrey, announced the news on the "Roy Spotting" Facebook group.
"With a heavy heart we helped Roy over RAINBOW BRIDGE this morning," announced Mr Aubrey. "Thank you for all the love you gave him, and he loved you all, fly high big boy."
Roy was a famous figure in Bridgend after he took to hanging around in the local branch of Home Bargains in 2017. People loved him so much they would visit the shop just to buy him a treat - and in September, 2019, Mr Aubrey's grandson, Dafydd Phillips, set up a Facebook page so his granddad could see just how well-loved Roy was.
