I had such an awesome shopping day! We stopped at the local pet shop we haven’t visited in a while.
It’s a tiny place, and for a while they were only allowing in one shopper at a time. But now that things are opening back up, they had a few people coming in to buy things. I had fun looking around, like I always do.
I got to check out the cat toys, of course.
And of course, I sniffed out both new things and old familiar things, like this ladder. There were lots of good smells.
I even looked at the dog toys. I also met a shopper who said I was amazing! (I knew that already, but I still liked hearing it from her.) In fact, she told me that twice.
Then I got petted by a different shopper while my human was checking out. I really enjoyed that. It’s so fun feeling like a superstar again.
Even better, I got to ride shotgun all the way home! This is the pet shop that’s really close to our house, so my human lets me ride home in the passenger seat instead of being put back in the carrier. Except for crossing one major street, it’s all residential.
I was very good all the way home (which was a little over half a mile). I either relaxed on the seat, or I looked out the window. I was very happy! And unlike being in the carrier, I did not meow once.

What a fun shopping trip Summer. We bet you brought a lot of smiles to people and that is what you do best
Those humans are very lucky to get to hang with you my dear!!
That store sure sounds fun, Summer. We love that you and your human are able to go out and about again. 🙂
Summer, I’d be over the moon if I met a kitty shopping at our local pet store!
You sure are amazing Summer. Looks like such fun for a kitty
You ARE amazing!
The store is a little over half a mile away? My peeps could walk that distance and I bet you’d love the walk except maybe crossing that big street. I hope you got something nippy along with the pets and ego stoking. You *are* pawsome.
We are so happy that you had such a great shopping trip! It is so much fun to get out and about and we are so furry happy that there were people who adored meeting you. And you got to ride shotgun!?! Bonus! We hope you and your peep have a marvellously happy day!
You are amazing , glad the shopped noticed. XO
How lovely that you can get out and have adventures! Out of 9 of us there are maybe 2 that would enjoy a trip to the pet store. You’re giving our mom ideas about buying a harness. Hmm…
You are definitely getting out more and more. It’s
obvious you are enjoying the outings. Good for you.
It has been a long, boring year for all of us.
OH Honey! You did have the best of days and I am so happy for you.
I’m glad you had fun and met some new fans sweet Summer!
oh my Summer what a fun adventure!!! Loved the “riding shotgun’, you cracked me up!!
You have the best outings, Summer.
That does sound like fun. Tama likes to ride shotgun as well. Benny has never tried it yet!
Purrs,
Tama and Benny
Awww, Summer, it’s so nice that you got to get out and enjoy some shopping excitement. I’m sure everyone you came in contact with was thrilled to give you special attention, too. Dad says he might try something like that with me in hopes I sleep a little better during the night since I’ve been waking him and mom so much lately. Have yourself an awesome weekend, dear girl.
That sounded like a very enjoyable trip, Summer.
I am happy that you had such a good outing Summer.
Getting adored by other shoppers and staff must be nice too:)
Purrs, Julie
