To his surprise, he found a tiny gray cat sitting there, winding the clock with its paw every time the hands reached the hour mark. ‘Oh, you little genius,’ laughed a regular customer who happened to pass by. And from that day on, Bussey’s Norwich became famous not just for its cars but also for the resident clockwork cat.’
