One of the best-known four-legged shop patrons in Douglas found herself in a spot of bother last night.
Smudge the Cat, who was honoured by Douglas City Council, is frequent visitor to shops in the city centre - but spent longer than she bargained for in a Spar store.
An eagle-eyed woman posted to Facebook after the tortoiseshell was spotted looking displeased at the locked front door just before 9pm.
Fortunately, help was on hand and she was released a short time later!
