It may seem like an average day at the pet shop, but now Summer is here, and she is taking charge in the way only a kitty can.
I got to visit one of my local pet shops. It’s actually the one I know best, and it’s only a few minutes from my house.

Of course I immediately took charge and interrupted some transaction going on at the counter. Everything tends to stop when I walk in. I didn’t get any treats this time (a lot of times the cashier has something for me), but I did get a lot of attention.

It’s usually quiet enough there that I’m able to wander as I please. Even the dog section, if I’m in the mood.

Eventually I made my way back to all the cat stuff.

And of course I checked out the cat toy section.

My human offered me a couple but nothing really got me all that excited.

Finally it was time to check out. For some reason, I decided I liked the dog chews and started chewing on one. So my human bought it for me.

Of course I supervised the checkout process.

It was a very fun shopping day!
