What I Saw on My Pet Store Trip

July 7, 2020 By: Summer Samba32 Comments

Summer shows what she saw on her pet store trip.

It has been a while since I got to go to the pet store. And this trip was extra fun because I saw some things I don’t usually.

pigeons outside the pet store

Like these guys! Usually when I’m outside in my sling, I’m curled up and not watching much. But this time I did a double take because there were a bunch more in addition to these two.

Then inside the pet shop, I saw this guy! At first he was fascinated by me. His human assured mine that he was fine with cats, but she still didn’t let me get close to him. It’s just safer to socially distance from other critters that we don’t know.

I also had fun hanging out in the cat toy section!

Since the dog and his human had checked out, I also went over to check out the dog treats.

Is it just me, or do dogs get the better treats? Ours just look like bigger kibble chunks usually, and dogs get all these cool, fun textures and combinations.

Best of all, I got to be petted by the staff! And they didn’t even mind that I tried to put my face into the box of catnip Barnyard Buddy toys behind me. It was a great trip!

    Looks like a great shopping trip! We occasionally bring our cats along on our trips but I fear that Jinx would just help herself to any treats that caught her attention… she tends to think with her stomach, even if it’s getting her into trouble lol

    Why is that??? That dogs have more of a variety of treats and toys and we kitties do…hummm We all know cats are more popular anyway. What a cool visit Summer with so many new things to see. So happy to see you and your mom get out for an afternoon summer shopping venture. Wonderful pictures too! Purrs

    I don’t know if dogs get better treats but they sure get a better deal on their food at checkout.

    I think your human should let you shop by yourself. You know what you want. For some reasons humans don’t like to shop.

    That looks like a fun trip. Is your human ever going to get you a barnyard buddy?

      I actually do have a couple sitting around somewhere! They are more fun when I see them in the store.

    I agree Summer, I have always thought dogs get a bigger choice of treats and toys.

    I’m glad for you that you had a special trip to the
    pet store. I know that makes your day and you don’t
    get to do it very often right now. You should nap better
    now.

    What! My humans never let me go the pet store! Did those dogs try to eat you!?! Dog treats have more textures, but we get catnip flavor!!!!!

    I am so glad you got to go out, even for a wee trip to the pet store, but it seems like it was a good adventure anyways!

    When the hooligans go to our store, *she* has to keep them away from the bulk treats, else they will try to help themselves to what they consider to be a yummy doggy buffet! MOL!

    What a fun trip, Summer! And we do think dog treats are better than cat treats. We need to fix that.

    You’re right, dogs do get cooler treats. I wouldn’t mind chewing on a bone myself. But our toys are way cooler than dog toys. Who wants a toy that makes a loud squeaking sound. I like bells and rattles best. My sissies and I are afraid to leave the house so we depend on our meowmy to pick out good toys and treats for us. ……Miss Kiki
