weekend report

There was a local Petsmart opening this past weekend and mom decided to take Chanel out. It is still very cold here so mom made a quick run from the car to the store with Chanel. We actually saw another kitty in the store as well as adoptable kitties from 3 different rescues - including Colony. There were give aways - including cat ears. There were coupons also so mom got a bag of food for Allie along with some treats for us and a new ESS scratcher.
 That orange kitty is Pumkpkin who was available with the rescue. She was actually adopted and went home Saturday evening.


Chanel was a big hit as always. People were surprised to see her and she got lots of attention. Thankfully she rides in the cart so she was only seen by a couple of dogs.

Mom did get a surprise at one point. There was a cricket on the floor as mom was talking to a store clerk. The clerk grabbed the cricket and put it back in the container. Chanel however had already caught sight of it but didn't see it leave. She launched herself OUT OF THE CART and landed on the floor (have we mentioned her nickname is Crash?). No harm done but she did spend a bit of time looking for the missing bug. Mom does make sure she always has a grip on the leash, so other than going over the side, Chanel wasn't going too far after that. But mom certainly got a shock since Chanel has never done anything like that before.

  1. Chanel, sure sounds like you had a good time.Nothing better than a cricket to chase. You are becoming quite the traveling cat. Have a super day.

  2. Too funny! That happened to me once, a long time ago, when we used to walk Chuck and Angel on their harnesses and leashes. Chuck went after something, and he ended up dangling from the harness over the side of the deck, while I freaked out at how FAST things went from normal to CRAZY!

  4. Thank goodness Chanel is on a leash. She sounds like the sort who wouldn't be seen again if she got her chance to go.

  5. Of course, you know what my human and I are wondering - if the clerk hadn't put the cricket back in the box and Chanel had caught it - would you have had to pay for it?

  8. Well, Petsmart has free dog snacks, maybe Chanel thought the cricket was her snack.

  9. The cricket was too much of a temptation to ignore.

  12. Chanel is growing so big! A few months before Kitty died, we had a cricket problem in our apartment. I hadn't seen Kitty do much for months except sleep ... but one night, I was sitting on the love seat and watched her streak across the room, launch herself over several pieces of furniture ... and take off after a cricket. I was dumbfounded to say the least!
