Buying Christmas Presents for Binga and Boodie

December 5, 2017 By: Summer Samba50 Comments

somali cat in car, waiting to go shopping

One of the cool things about being a kitty about town is that I can go shopping! In fact, I was off buying Christmas presents for Binga and Boodie at one of my local pet stores just yesterday.

somali cat buying Christmas presents

We went to Urban Pet because it’s the biggest of the local shops (plus my human needed to get some cat food they have in stock). It was full of potential gifts!

My human said I was not supposed to test out the merchandise, but it was hard not to. Anyhow, first up, I needed to find a good present for Binga.

I bet she would totally love a… brand new litter box! Ha-ha, just kidding.

I really decided to get her this catnip crocodile cat toy.

Hopefully, she won’t mind that I tested it out! I figured that since I was already buying it, it was okay.

Boodie likes to carry things around in her mouth and meow loudly, especially in the middle of the night. So I thought this octopus would be a good gift for her. She can grab it by the tentacles.

Maybe I should get them a bag of treats too!

Should I get them this awesome bag of bonito flakes, or…

This tube of hairball remedy? Just kidding! I think I’m done shopping now.

    Boodie and Binga have the last laugh. Since they don’t go shopping, they’re not gonna get you anything so I hope you got some toys and treats for yourself. Would you believe I already got a litter box as an early Christmas gift? Bah humbug!

    You are such a sweet sister!
    I, Marvelous, have bought Kozmo, Jo Jo and Cinnamon gifts, but I did not get to go to the store. I am now supervising my human in making us all some crocheted spiders! And all we need now is some catnip to put inside them.

    Hello Summer! It is so much fun to watch you shop for your nearest and dearest 😉 We think you should buy ALL the treats for Binga and Boodie. They are Good Girls. Maybe not as good as you, of course, but still pretty good. I like to carry toys around and meow loudly in the night too! That’s because I think the Human should wake up and play with me, dammit. Why does she need to sleep when she’s home with me? I don’t see why she can’t take care of that at work.
    XOXOXO

    Excellent choices, both are cute and kooky. Our sister started doing the talking loud with a toy in her mouth this year. She sounded so strange our human thought she was sick but after the vet it turns out she’s just kooky too. We can’t wait to see how much they like them.

    I think a new litter box would be the equivalent of getting a handmade sweater from Grandma for a kid 🙂 You did a great job choosing gifts, I hope they are as good to you. Emmy does the same thing during the night with toys.
