It’s time to gather presents for Secret Paws, the cat blogging version of Secret Santa. I already had some gifts set aside, but I needed to buy a few more things for the blogging kitties who I was assigned. As you can see, I was really excited to go shopping!
We went to the local pet shop that I know for sure carries the brand of treats they like. But the moment we came in, my human saw some cute sweaters with pom poms, so I had to try one on. Sadly, they had medium and extra small, but not small, which was my size for these.
Once my human put the sweaters back on the rack, and I visited with some shoppers, it was time to get serious. I looked around to see what I wanted to get.
We went by the treat section to pick up the treats my pals like.
My human also got me some treats I like, since we were running out.
I only needed to pick up a couple of toys, since I already had some ready to wrap at home. But there was one specific one my human wanted to get for them, and fortunately, it was in stock!
With that, we were done! If you are curious, when I signed up for Secret Paws, I actually asked not to have anything sent me! I already have so much stuff that I don’t need anything else. Instead, I asked that whoever picked my name make a donation to a cat rescue instead. I think that is the best gift possible.

That’s a noble thing you did. I’m not surprised, you’re such a good girl❤❤
It appears you are really good at shopping. I’m wondering
if you enjoy trying on clothes in the store – probably.
I would certainly like to bump into you while shopping –
what a treat!
That Pom Pom sweater looked cute.
What a terrific thing to do about Secret Paws! We have only been part of secret paws twice. Once the first year Nellie blogged and Marv’s first year. The pets at our house have more than enough toys. (Plus it is impossible to get anything beyond cheap cat food in a town the size of Midway.) We donate to local pet organizations using the money we used to spend on Christmas Cards and the money we would spend on gifts and postage. I love the phot of you with your face in your Peep’s purse Summer!
I bet you chose a lot of nice items. How kind of you to say you don’t want anything. That is a cute sweater, too bad they didn’t have your size.
You are just the sweetest to request a donation instead of gifts for yourself! We loved watching you shop for your Secret Paw, and can’t wait to see who it is!
Summer, what a lovely idea to have a donation made instead! Your Secret Paws is going to be very surprised and very lucky.
We haven’t done Secret Paws for years and now, everything that comes into the EU from outside is heavily taxed, plus postage rates have gone crazy. Sigh. We always admire the packages you put together!

That was a good trip. It is always nice to buy for others. That was a generous idea to have a donation made instead of gifts for you.
T\hat was a fund trip! We really like your idea of having the kitty who drew your name make a donation to a rescue, Summer.
SUMMER! I love when we can all go shopping with you!!!
Thanks for taking us along on your shopping trip.
Such a fun shopping trip, too bad they didn’t have your size sweet Summer!
Dearest Summer,
You genuinely were enjoying this!
Hugs,

That Idea is, I think, the best thing to do for gifts. Saves postage and duplication of toys and treats. How wonderful your store carries so many things. We need more stores like that for Mrs H to go, instead of Tesco.
