We needed food from the big chain pet store this week, and my human took me along. Of course she would. It’s fall at the pet store, and you know what that means.
The Halloween costumes are up! My human wanted the chance to try some one me. Honestly, I’m not that impressed with a lot of the selections this year.
Who thinks that this headwear is S/M? It’s not if you’re a cat, and it was huge on me! I don’t think it’s small enough to fit Boodie’s head either (she has the largest head out of all of us).
I’ve seen lion’s manes on Etsy, and even got to try one on at a cat show, and it looked really cute on me. But once the idea got co-opted by corporate America… they didn’t know how to make it fit a cat’s dainty head. Even roaring did not make it work.
I also checked out the fall wardrobe. Wait — isn’t this Los Angeles, where the average winter temperature never goes below the high 60s? I feel like I’m looking at pet clothes for Vancouver!
I got to wander around the store for a bit. Somehow I wound up on the top shelf of the cat litter.
Then came the best part — checking out the birdies! I hear these guys live wild in my neighborhood, but I’ve only seen sparrows flying around our house.
This guy was not scared of me in the least! He spent some time checking me out.
Finally it was time to check out.
I got to sit on the counter while everything got rung up. And I got a treat for my good behavior!
See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
That looked like a fun trip to the store. What does your human use to help you sit in the bottom of that basket, Summer? One of these days, Cupcake is going to be willing to sit in the basket again and we’ll need to figure something out!
We use a tote that’s actually made of stiff, sturdy material, so it creates a fairly solid surface for me to sit on.
Beautiful as ever.
Oh my….that lion’s mane was adorable!!! You look good in everything, Summer!!
Love that lion look!
Summer, you have so much fun, and we are jealous. We never get to go shopping. We actually think you were adorable in your lion mane. XOCK, angel Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer
I applaud your restraint, Summer! Those birdies look like LUNCH!

I love the lion mane! It looks great on you!
The Viking look was so cute! Tell mom its going to be ok.
You make a very cute roaring lion, Summer ! We’re glad you had so much fun shopping ! Purrs
We kind of like the lion outfit. Sorry we are so late. Mom had lots to do today.
I love the picture of you and the bird!!!
Summer,
Your birdies look tasty!

I love to watch you shop! I think you look adorable in the lion costume. Can’t wait to see which one you got!
You make such a cute lion.
Maybe you need a road trip to Vancouver
We think you look super cute in the lion costume! We have lots of birds living in our yard too. xoxo
I *love* you in that lion costume but I’ll bet that’s not the one your human bought. It’s even your coloring. Your human could buy ruby red slippers and you could trick and treat as the Cat Wizard of Oz.
MOL! I love that lion look! Even if it is a little loose on your head.
You make an adorable lion 🙂 I like the costumes better at the craft store than the pet store.
Oh you make a most beautiful lion sweet Summer, we love that one!
Summer the head gear made us cackle but OMCs the lions man WOW that was a good one and your furs are the purrfect color too
Hugs madi your bfff
I think the Lion’s head is the BEST of all! Do you know my Mom won one last year on Lisa Taron’s blog that was meant for dogs to wear…well…my Mom wore it to a Detroit Lions football game! Love, Cody
Summer, you looked so ADORABLE in that lion’s mane!
Maybe I should search online for one’s for Manny and CB, since they already have tie-dyed tshirts!
So great to see such a happy shopping trip! Loved this!
Your eyes look especially beautiful and big, in the picture where you’re wearing the Viking hat!
That’s lion’s mane was super big, that’s what made it so funny. It looked so so cute on you! And that was one cute funny face you made too. What a fun visit. Fall is fun. It makes mom chuckle when she sees all those crazy winter outfits…we’re in Texas, it’s never cold here, MOL. Purrs
Summer, I honestly and really think that lion’s mane is perfect on you. It’s not supposed to be dainty and it down;t seem too large at all. I LOVED it.
What a fun pet store visit you had, Summer. That lion’s mane on you made us laugh.
I love the pet store outings, and while that lions mane was a little too big, you looked amazing in it!
You looked like a mighty lion with that mane on! What a fun outing.
Very impressive tongue technique. And we thought you looked really cute in the lion’s mane.
I bet the best bit was the treat at the end of the visit,xx Speedy
I’d be real interested in those birdies!
Looks like you had fun at the store.
Costumes too 😉
We bet the staff loved having you there too 🙂
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
Looking at those birdies reminds me of people picking a lobster out of a tank.. dinner time!! 😉
I think that lion looked absolutely adorable on you!!
Glad you had a fun outing. We look forward to seeing your new outfit.
