If you saw my blog post yesterday, you might recall I briefly mentioned not getting a chance to visit the pet shop. Well, finally I got to go on Friday! It was about time. Without any other cats but me now, my human doesn’t need to go to the pet store as often as she did. The only thing is, I do need to go! I get tired of not going out and socializing.
At first I visited a couple of the cat aisles. Some of them, other than the toy section, are kind of boring! Cleaners and litter monitors? That’s not going to hold my interest! So I decided to do something a little different.
I decided to explore the dog aisles! At first I checked out the small animal aisle, but realized that wouldn’t be anywhere near as fun. It’s easier to cause mischief in the dog aisles.
First I rubbed on the bags of dog food. Just because there’s nothing like a dog wanting dinner only to think that a cat got there first.
Then I went to the dog toy section. And I realized… dog toys aren’t all that entertaining.
Like… what is a dog (or anyone) going to do with a life sized plush elf?
Then I went over and buried my face in a basket of dog toys. Like I enjoy doing with the cat toys.
That was disappointing! They didn’t have any smell. I guess there is no dog version of catnip. Anyhow, by then an actual dog showed up at the shop and my human said it was time to check out. The employee at the register gave me some freeze dried chicken, so that was pretty awesome! I can’t wait to go out again.

A day out? Got to be a good thing! Teasing dogs? Score!!!!
That sounds like some fun mischief, Summer! Rubbing your scent on the dog stuff … MOL!
Oh Summer you are hilarious! You facial expression after sniffing those scentless dogs toys is priceless. We laughed so hard! I bet it was fun rubbing your scent on everything dog, MOL. They are gonna love it! That’s throwing them for a loop. What a super fun outing. Purrs
Dogs are boring, Summer.

I bet the doggies will be very interested in your scent!
I love your trips out and your commentary. This one was especially good and funny. Even I, a human, enjoy the cat isles more than the dog isles. Of course my dog would disagree, so I won’t tell him.
Well Summer, I hope you get to go out more soon. Just between you and me Summer. I think your human should adopt a new kitty from a rescue.
How nice that you finally got to go to the pet shop ! We wonder how dogs will react when they discover your smell on their food bag ! Purrs
I love that you rubbed on the dog food bag and buried your face in the dog toy bucket!
I would love to be present when the dog who acquires that food or the toys smells you on it!
I hope your human takes you out more. You look like you’re having so much fun!
Sorry you didn’t find anything with nip.
We’re glad you got to go to the pt shop, Summer. That’s funny that you put your smell on some of those dog food packages!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji (and Woofs from Ollie)
Summer, you get out more than I do!!!
I am so glad you got to go out and be social sweet Summer!
Seems like it has been quite a long time since you were
out. I’m glad you got to do that. Your visit has to improve
the clerk’s day too.
So glad you got to go out finally! Looks like you made the most of it. Some dogs are going to get a surprise when they get your scent!
Fenris and Tuiren would like to meet you as long as you don’t hiss at them. We touch noses with them and everything, And we bet some lucky dog got all excited when he/she smelled your scent on the dog toys. Fenris would probably like the life sized plush elf, he would bath it to death. No kidding that’s what he does with all his plush toys he gives them a bath.
Oh SUMMER! Make her do that EVERY day!!!! You need the time out in the world, and what else does she have to do…right? Right?
Well that sure sounds like you made a day of it. I’d do the same thing- checking everything out, rubbing my face on all that stuff- you know, gotta let everyone know you were there first! Good thing your human knew enough to get out before the dog got you.
What, no nip in the dog section! Cats have much more interesting things to check out. I wonder if that dog walked past the bags you rubbed on and had to stop for a double take.
