In Varberg in Sweden we had one cat who would come to the supermarket every day and watch the people comming in and out:

This is Molle. Molle likes to watch people come and go from a busy supermarket. Molle likes to be pet so you can pet Molle. Please don’t feed Molle. Molle lives next door.

Well, guess I'm gonna go hungry cuz it's time to pet the kitteh, no time for shopping

More directly, "This is Molle. He came to Varberg in 2013 and has found his favorite place here at Hajen ["The shark?"] and can sit here for hours and watch all the people passing by. He loves to be petted but DO NOT FEED HIM as he has a family and lives in a house behind the shop." This is the ICA supermarket chain in Varberg, I believe. I have never been there, so I am not sure what the shark reference is (and there's even a shark logo in the lower right corner), and my Swedish ain't that great.

Googling some, I think it's in reference to a submarine class (type) in the Swedish Navy. But it might be a reference to "Hajen Lågpris," or "we slash prices" kind of thing. You probably knew this, but I just posted it for non-Swedes.

Molle should be hanging with Luffar-Lasse
