I got to go to the pet shop! My human decided to bring me along since I was due for a bath. She decided that taking me out first and bathing me when I got home was the equivalent of her washing her hands. I’d say it was a little bit more than that, but whatever. I was really excited to go out. I was practically dancing when she pulled out the carrier.
The world is so different from the last time I was out. For one thing, I only got to be on the counter, and I wasn’t allowed to bury my face in the cat toys like normal.
I did take an intoxicating whiff of the dog chews, though! Another thing, we were the only ones in the store. The girl who checked us out wished she could have petted me… but she was allergic, on top of all the quarantine stuff!
I wonder if things will ever get back to normal! I hear that some humans think things will never be normal again.
The really cool thing about going to this particular pet shop is that it’s only a few blocks from my house, and it’s mostly residential streets. So sometimes my human lets me ride loose in the car, the way I’d prefer I always do! It’s the only time she doesn’t make me go back in the carrier. You can see my trip home in the video below, if you didn’t already see it on Instagram:

Such a nice visit you had!
Love you! ❤️
Glad you got to get out Summer! I can’t wait till the day where I feel safe again getting out. I havent set foot in a public store since since March 15th. I have been fishing and enjoying the outdoors. So that’s nice. I live in Mississippi and our towns pet store closed down a few years ago so we no longer have one as of right now. Be safe Summer!! ❤❤❤❤
You got a really strong voice for such a petite lady! Have a wonderful day!
The few good things about this lockdown is the lack of traffic on the roads and places aren’t crowded like before. Personally, I think this whole thing is overblown and can’t wait for it to be over!
I am so glad you got to go out. we can here for walks and essential shopping but NZ, like you, is staying put.
I am watching (from New Zealand) as the USA splits into ‘Yes this is serious’ and ‘Nah we are all good’. This. Is. Weird.
Oh boy! A trip to the pet store is always fun…….all those smells to enjoy and things to see!
Hugs, Teddy

How cool ! We’re so glad you could go out for a while ! Purrs
How exciting! We saw your video on Instagram – it’s fab! We’re glad you got to go on an outing.
That was a fun video watching you in the car! You have such a sweet little miaow!
You were so vocal in the car but those weren’t the songs of our people. MOL! I’m glad you didn’t have to wear that mask you modeled once. Wouldn’t it have been fun to walk to the store or that impossible? My peeps walk everywhere.
My human worries about running into dogs, or a loud noise like a car backfiring scaring me. She is a little overprotective, but it’s probably better than the opposite.
Summer, so glad you got to get out of the house, Many of us humans can’t wait to get out of our houses! You were such a good passenger. I’m sorry the girl at the pet shop couldn’t pet you because she was allergic! Thanks for posting the video. It was nice to hear your soft “meow”!!
I’m so glad you FINALLY got to go out. You
are such an outgoing kitty. Having to stay
in so much must be really hard on you.
I’m feeling a bit of cabin fever myself!
OH wow, I’m so glad you got to get out for awhile. And look how perfect you were behaved during your car ride home.
So glad you got to go on an outing! Things just have to get better eventually.
how fun to hear you and your human talking, Summer 🙂 looks like you had a nice outing. we think we will all be in for a new sort of normal.
minnie, hollie, sharpie, ditto, TL
I am glad you were able to get out Summer. It was nice to see you travelling in the car.
Oh Summer, I’m so excited. I got to hear your voice. It fits you. Fun trip. Happy bath. Love you
We think you have more outside time than our humans. Stay safe.
How nice you got to go to the store.
Too bad your admirers were not there, but there was one 😉
Looks like you enjoyed the ride home too!
Purrs,Georgia and Julie
What a wonderful trip Summer. Mom says everything will go back to normal plus or minus a few changes, all for the best though. No worries honey. We loved the video clip. You seem so independent Summer. Confident too. Happy Sunday Funday hon. Purrs
I’m so glad you got to go out, thanks for taking us along! I don’t think I remember what normal was anymore, so yeah, I agree, things won’t be the same once this is over.
What fun you had, Summer! And you had a lot to say on that ride! Beebs used to love riding shotgun with #1 n the car.
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
Yay! We’re happy you got to go out, Summer. Even though you did not get to climb into the toys, it sounds like you still had fun!
I am glad you got to go out. I think someday the world will be back to normal, but it will take years.
Yay for getting to go on a short adventure! What a good girl :o) We LOVE hearing your voice too! Glad you and your lady mom had a nice trip XOXO
I’ll bet you really were excited to get out sweet Summer and boy, you’re sure good riding in the car!
Thanks for taking us along on your trip to the store and your car ride. We loved hearing your little meow!
How nice you got to go out, Summer. But why aren’t you wearing a mask? 😉
I LOVE for you that you got to go out finally! And mom and I enjoyed the video. Your face in the very first picture is so sweet. The expression is something special and that portrait at the end is superb!
So cool ya got to get out. My momma needs to go to Target tomorrow (the iron stopped working and they need the iron in order to sew – Bowie’s momma is making masks for some family members . . . ) She’s super excited about it. She was also really excited to go to the grocery store but it was a little bit of a downer because everyone was acting so weird. . .
