I Went to the Big Chain Pet Store!

May 30, 2020 By: Summer Samba35 Comments

Summer has a quick trip to the big chain pet store.

I got to go on a slightly longer outing today! I even had to use the litter box before I went. It was to the big chain pet store in the next city over from us. It took us a whole 15 minutes to get there. I was very excited for a trip.

They had hand sanitizer and paper towels by the shopping carts, and my human used them very liberally! And although everyone was wearing masks (except me) and keeping their distance, I still got lots of admiration from people in the store! In fact, lots of them seemed pretty excited that I was there!

My human even got me a new dress. She says maybe we can have a picnic somewhere soon.

This is the store with the indoor birdies, so I got to watch them! One of these birdies seemed really interested in me.

For some reason, the parakeets never notice me.

My human bought a big load of cat food! This is our breakfast for the next several weeks.

The guy behind the checkout counter was thrilled to see me! He even wanted to know if he could pet me. My human thought about it for a moment, then said it was okay if he used hand sanitizer. So he did. That was cool.

I think our trip was way too short! I hope my human can take me out again soon.

    First, thank you for letting the staff member pet you Summer. Pet retail can be a nightmare (our friend Chris works in it) so your allowing him to say hello is this sweet way probably made his day and I know it choked me up a little bit.

    Second – I can comment in Opera. I am beginning to think it is a Safari thing.

    I can easily imagine that all people were in admiration when they saw you in the caddie ! That doesn’t happen often. My first cat went with me everywhere sitting on my shoulder !! We are also still under lockdown no restaurants open ! But the shops and that’s awful because they let in one to 5 people and the other stand outside in a line ! A nightmare !

    CV19 quarantine is just about over and now the George Floyd curfews have started. You may not be going out anytime soon Summer. TW says one thing she misses is she can’t pet any of the dogs she sees in our courtyard or in the streets. What a traitor.

    You got lucky again. You know, the parakeets
    probably don’t even know what a cat is or why
    they should be afraid. I’m glad you got to go
    shopping again.

    It was good you were able to get out on a longer trip. I wish I could, but now they are saying probably not before July if you have a suppressed immune system.

    I am so happy you enjoyed your trip. I, Marvelous would NOT like it though. I am liking living in Midway though! I LOVE my yard and I am very good at staying in it and NOT wandering.
