Going Shopping

September 14, 2017 By: Summer Samba29 Comments

somali cat in car with shopping bag

I got to go shopping with my human yesterday afternoon! We went to Urban Pet, which is one of the three boutique pet stores within five minutes of my house. We are starting to have a hard time deciding which one to go to!

Somali cat at pet store

Since I’d only been there once before, and it’s a big place, I got to wander around a lot. My human even shot an Instagram Story for me while we were there! Fortunately no dogs showed up, so I didn’t have to go back into my sling.

I rubbed on a few things to let everyone know this store belongs to me!

They carry Meowijuana here! I really liked the sticks my human brought home a couple of weeks ago. Now we have a place to stock up.

I wanted to look behind the front counter, but my human said I wasn’t supposed to. What does she know? I’m a kitty, I should be allowed.

The one thing I didn’t like all that much was the indoor fish pond. My human thought for sure I would like it, but I thought it was creepy.

My human got all excited because there was a turtle. I really didn’t care.

Finally we checked out. I supervised, of course.

The counter guy let me rub on some of the catnip toys by the register. Maybe it was a hint for my human to buy me some… but she didn’t! Is she dense or what?

    Mom says we don’t have that same store by us. It looks like there are all kinds of kitty things there! And you’re right you should’ve been able to go behind that counter, ’cause you are Summer! The counter person should know better! Those fishes look pretty big, but I wouldn’t want to be near that water either. I’d be interested if the fishes were flopping on the side outside the water! I would cook you up a special dinner then. Kisses! Mew Mew!

    What a nice shop that you visited Summer. I hope you did get something nice even if you did not get a nip toy. Our Dad likes the turtle but I agree that the pond is a bit creepy

    At least you got some stuff. If that cashier was nice, he would have thrown oe of those little toys on the counter in the bag for you.

    That looks like a fun trip- would have been more fun if you were able to get a toy. That is a cute turtle, I miss ours.

    I can’t believe your Mom didn’t buy you another nip toy. If you can still see the floor in your house, then you don’t have enough toys. ; )

    You are such a girl! I love where you go and all your adventures. The fish and turtle were cool…just sayin’. I wish they had just given you a new toy at the checkout because you were there!

    That looks like a pretty great outing. Yesterday our mail carrier fund a turtle in our yard. We have no idea where it came from. Dad told her she could have it, and we never even got to see it. Dad didn’t even take a picture. PFFFT! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

    What? You stand there looking adorable at the checkout counter with a BIG BOX OF nippy toys and she doesn’t get you even ONE? Does she think you have too many already? No such thing as too many right?!

    Hugs, Teddy

    That was a fun store to visit and claim, Summer!

    We need to petition to get that meowijuana in our stores. And silvervine, too…though we have seen some toys that have that in them.

    Sheesh, though, no treats and no toys??? What’s up with that?!

    Why do kitties look so cute, when they rub up against people or objects?

    What a fun shopping trip, Summer. You’re lucky to have such cool stores so close to you. All we have are the typical big box pet stores…but it doesn’t matter…we don’t get to go shopping there anyway.

    Summer, if your hoomin is like me, there are catnip toys EVERYWHERE around the house, and we are wary of buying more. I haven’t seen any Meowijuana around here, but I’m sure it will appear soon!

    Yep, that’s your store all right. And our mom luffs turtles too. She used to work at a place where a lady kept a turtle as a pet – it’s surprising how much personality they can develop when exposed to hoomins.

    Wow you have some wonderful shops to go to. Around here they are very thin on the ground and I’ve never seen a feline come in. I think the US is far more pet orientated. The Meowijuana is the BEST, loved that at BlogPaws and hoping that I get some real stuff this coming conference rather than pictures.
