New (to Me) Pet Shop

June 23, 2017 By: Summer Samba34 Comments

somali cat excited to go shopping

I had a fun day! I got to go to a new (to me) pet shop. It’s just over the hill in Highland Park and it’s called Rosie Bunny Bean. So that makes three indie pet shops that are only minutes from my house! Isn’t that cool? The area I live in really loves its pets.

A guy with his dog was just leaving when we got there, and there were no other pets in the store, so I got to hang out on my leash right away.

My spoilsport human said I was not allowed to try out the merchandise. She’s no fun.

Anyhow, I wasn’t really there for myself. My human and I were picking out a couple of final trinkets for my Cat World Domination Day giveaway package. It’s going to be a very nice prize!

Besides all the cool pet stuff, I saw something very unusual!

There were these two guys spraying water all over the window, and cleaning it with poles! My human worried that they were going to scare me, but I was fascinated.

There was a bucket of treats at the checkout. I immediately buried my face in them, but my human told me that was rude. So I did a couple of high fives to make up for it. Then I saw something else crazy!

Two boys walked in with a kitten! The pet shop owners were helping them with her because she was covered in fleas. She was a sweet little thing, but very scared. The little boys were nice, but I’d had so many treats by then, I wouldn’t do any more high fives. I did enjoy letting them pet me, though. So I had a very cool visit!

    Wow, what a great outing. We’d have a really tough time keeping our paws off of all those toys. What a sweet kitten. Hope they were able to get it defleaed. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy

    You’re human took out the toys before she took the pic? Does that mean no Meowy Weed? MOL! Even though I don’t wish to go out, I sometimes envy your pet shop adventures.

    We’re pretty fascinating when our daddy uses those stick things on our windows too! It’s fun to watch! What another great store in your area! CA kitties have lots of local choices for treats and foods. The kitten is very cute. We’re glad she’s having those fleas taken care of so she’ll feel better.

    Poor little kitten. Fleas are no fun. I can’t wait to see the big party. I hope you didn’t burp in public from all of those treats.

    i scare the boyz whenever i clean our house windows. i guess that’s why i don’t do it as often as i should…

    My gosh, Summer…what a fun trip! We have several small, independent pet shops around my office (not so much around home), and I visit them on my lunch time. Bet the employees at that shop were happy to see you.

    I’m happy to have seen the kitten and I hope to goodness she didn’t jump down outside when the boys left. I’d have gone to the bottom of the treats and not come up even for air.

    You’re always up for an outing, Summer. You are indeed lucky that you have three indie pet shops near you! We have one that’s close but it’s geared toward dogs. One time the lady went in to buy us some treats and just about all the cat treats were expired! She likes one like this where there are fun and unique cat toys and supplies.

    That was a funny image thinking of you burying your face in the the bucket of treats. Aw, that poor, cute kitten!

    It sounds like you had a lovely time at the new store checking out the goodies there. If I was washing the outside of the ground level windows, Flynn liked to jump at the cloth from the inside.
