The infamous "Sainsbury's cat" has returned to the Brockley supermarket.

The stubborn feline first hit the headlines back in November, after he was spotted by shoppers strutting through the supermarket's aisles.

The ginger moggy was snapped sitting on a shelf surrounded by packets of sweets and glaring ferociously as though daring anyone to try to move him.

When he was removed by security the cat, called Olly, simply sauntered straight back in.

Regular customers have said they have recently seen Olly hanging around the supermarket in the evening, when staff reduce the fresh fish.

Olly was back again on Wednesday, when shopper Nigel Thornberry saw him perched atop a chiller cabinet and staring down at the customers below.

After he tweeted two pictures of the grumpy cat, twitter users joked that he looked to be judging shoppers' food choices.

Olly's owner Adam Oliver, an academic at the London School of Economics, said the six-year-old Tomcat often visits the Sainsbury’s, which is near his home, and is also known to frequent a nearby café.

When asked about Olly's disgruntled appearance, he said: "That's just his face."
