The Paper Bag Investment Strategy

June 13, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat17 Comments

My human went to some trading conference because she “fools around in the stock market” sometimes. But instead of coming home with some new charting method or options strategy, she came home with shoes that she bought during the lunch break. But that’s okay, because I think she made a good investment in paper bags.

Now if only she would get the dumb shoes out of there!

I couldn’t wait for her to take the shoes out of the bag so I could properly examine it. Note that the bag is from somewhere called “Shoe Warehouse.” My human is really classy, isn’t she?

She got socks while she was there too.

Of course I had to see what kind of shoes this Shoe Warehouse place sold. They did not look anything like the shoes on the box. But I didn’t mind — I thought they smelled really good!

My human already exercises most days - how in shape does she want to get?

While I was looking at the shoes, my human surprised me and did a very cool thing — she cut the handles off the bag! That means she is going to let me have it for a while instead of just throwing it into the recycling bin.

Although I would have preferred a Neiman Marcus bag.

This is a nice, roomy bag. Actually, it is the perfect size for me.

Good thing too, or I would have asked that it be returned.

Plus the cut off handles make good auxiliary cat toys.

I call it the Bonus Gift.

    Our mom would not dream of buying anything from any place which wasn’t an “outlet” or “warehouse”! We approve – more money for cats! And we think it’s a pawsome bag – the shoes look pawsome too.

    P.S. our grandma has her series 7 and also a CFP – she is retired, but likes to do trades for fun. Unfortunately, our mom did not inherit those particular genes 🙁

    That’s a cool paper bag and auxiliary cat toys Sparkle! Maybe your human will take those shoes out so you can have a good box too!

    That’s a great two-for-one deal you got: shoes for you, toy for Sparkle! We buy mice, balls, and other assorted goodies for our cats, but they seem to get more enjoyment out of bags and boxes.

    Sparkle,
    You know the shoe purchase was ONLY to get you the bag, right?
    Our Mommy just got a pair of those shoes and she LOVES them!

    I must compliment your human on her choice of shoe stores. I LOVE DSW! And I’m sure my kitty would love one of those bags. Alas, I didn’t purchase anything the other day but will definetly keep the bag in mind next time I go!

    That’s a very cool bag Sparkle – you will be able to have lots of fun with that. We’ve never had handles for toys so we’ll have to have a strong word with mum.
