Casper the cat died from injuries after a hit-and-run near the home it shared with Susan Finden, 65, in Plymouth, Devon, the Daily Mail reported Monday.

Finden, a care worker, rescued the cat in 2002 and named it Casper because she said the cat had a habit of vanishing like a ghost. "But then some of the drivers told me he had been catching the bus. I couldn't believe it at first, but it explained a lot. He loved people and we have a bus stop right outside our house so that must be how he got started," Finden said. "He'd queue up in line good as gold -- it'd be 'person, person, person, cat, person, person.' He had no road sense whatsoever but he loved people."
