I didn’t think I was going to visit Santa this year. Because there are still Covid restrictions, the pet store chain I usually go to wasn’t doing Santa visits. But then my human checked the other chain that’s a little farther away — and they were! So she brought me down.
I was a little bit distracted, so the photos that Santa’s helper was taking weren’t turning out that great. Finally my human got the idea that maybe I should give Santa a high five.
It worked! I don’t have a video of the high five, but if you want to see a quick clip of my visit, you can see it on TikTok.
After I visited with Santa, we stopped by the store’s holiday display. They actually had some good stuff!
Yes, we got this hat… and a couple of other things. You’ll see them soon!
My human placed me here while we were in the checkout line so I didn’t have to be in my sling carrier. (I much prefer being free on my leash.) Note behind me that they offer therapy dog classes. What about therapy cats? How come we cats are left on our own to figure it out for ourselves?
It was the one annoying moment of the whole outing.

Lol Summer you look cute with Santa. Hugs and purrs❤
Great pics with Santa Paws. Just absolutely pawsome
Cats aren’t dumb like dogs so we don’t need training. We’ve either got it (you) or not (me). Yes, that is the best Santa pic ever even with your human’s arm in it.
Wow! Santa!?!? You are one lucky cat! THe last time any of us got to visit was the Before Hairy Slobbery Sisters Bob and Sam and Nellie and Kozmo in Calgary…that was a zillion years ago! And you are right…what about Therapy Cats!
I love your high five with Santa!
YOU look adorable and I wish you would go out dressed all the time.
Summer, I had to go back this morning to see your post. So glad I did. I missed it yesterday and that would have been sad for me. Well, you DO send your weekly summary, so I would have seen it then.
High fives with Santa? Best Santa photos ever, Summer!
How cool that you gave Santa high five!
I giggled at your raspberry…but yes, why not cat therapy classes?
That IS the best Santa photo ever. I love your little tongue in the last one too. XO
I love your raspberry of annoyance! Your Santa photos are amazing, and I love the caroling hat!
Aww… so cute!
Maybe they figure that cats can figure out how to be therapy animals on their own ?
We love the pictures of you and Santa.
Hope Santa or your Human gave you a Treat, when you High Fived St. Nick!
Oh I love that you got to see Santa and you looked so festive in your outfit. I love your new hat. That’s just fabulous. Always glad to see your photos.
That is probably the BEST Santa photo we’ve ever seen!
That was so much fun and so cute sweet Summer!

You are so cute in these pictures. Did you realize your tail was
draped over Santa’s foot in the first picture? You looked like you
should be Santa’s Helper.
How cool that you got to visit Santa!
What a fun visit you had with Santa Paws, Summer! Did you tell him what you wanted for Christmas?
Pawsome visit with Santa! I hope he brings you lots of goodies when the time comes 😉
You did a pawsome high five with him too.
Riding a conveyor belt…hmmmmmm 🙂
