Boycott All Pet Stores!

[RICHARD]

i went into the local privately owned feed/tack/pet store to buy some cat litter.

i have shopped at this store before and know the layout fairly well. as i walked in i made a beeline for the cat litter and proceeded to pick up a bag and headed toward the front of the store.

i placed the bag on the counter and jokingly asked the clerk if 'they had the cat to go with the litter'

she laughed at me and pointed to my left, she said
'we sure do...'

as i looked i saw three of the MOST PRECIOUS kitties all balled up in a cage on the floor..

i clucked my tongue at them and they looked up..
one was orange, another, solid gray and the last one was gray with a wonderfully striped face.

i nearly died...i wanted to take all of them home with me...they were sooooo tiny (when i first met Eddie he fit into the pocket of my t-shirt...)

after a minute or two i pulled myself away from the cage, but not before taking one last look over
my shoulder as i walked out.

i find that pet stores that use cute kitties as a way to get you all soft and gooey inside are the
worst places on the planet....i left my heart in that pet store..


i can't get three pairs of deep blue eyes out of my head....


there ought to be a law!!!!!

Awww, don't you want a friend for your kitty? I know orangies just happen to be the BEST kitties ever.....

Whew! When I first read this thread, I thought maybe you were going to say something like they have discovered that pet stores have been putting frog toes in their foods, or something creepy like that! lol!!
Yes, kittens are INCREDIBLEY IRRESISTABLE!!!!!!
That is excatly how I discovered my little Romeo.
I went to Pets Mart to buy Sammy some new toys, and there they were, sitting like little powder puffs, exceptionally cute and adorable...SWEET KITTENS!!!
So, instead of bringing home some new toys for Sammy,I brought him home a new brother instead!
And of course, I could'nt stop thinking about the other little kittens
still there. Well, maybe I'll go get just one more baby!
Kittens are wonderfully addictive!!

After thinking about this thread for a while, I figured out that we got both Noel and Basie "just getting food" at PetSmart.

Olivia, Micah and Hermoine were gotten volunteering so I wouldn't get anymore cats.

can someone tell me how to get an icon?

[Tonya]

Yes! The pet stores are evil! While we are at it, boycott Target too! It seems like people are always out front of my Target with a box of kittens or puppies. It takes all I can not to get one or two or three. hehe. My weakness is the puppies on the Saturday adoption days at Petsmart. I want them all!

Oh dear ... I too, was "caught" at the pet store admiring a pair of tuxy kitties that Pixel would LOVE for me to bring home for her to play with! Sigh.....not liking this one cat rule

Neither was I... but now my guy's in love with Lily

You shouldn't come to PetTalk either. Look at Lily, Skylar, Bella, Hermione, Tigs, Juni Rose and all the other cute fluffballs ........
What feelings do you get if you look at them

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

You are so right, Richard. When I was at PetSmart yesterday, I purposely avoided the adoption area. Why torture myself?

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

So, Richard--Have you been back to the store yet to bring those blue-eyes home?

[dragonchilde]

Imagine how I feel...I used to WORK at Petsmart. Every time I go there, I wind up talking to my former co-workers, and the vet techs are always trying to talk me into this or that kitty.

Matter of fact, I hav ea fat gray ball of fuzz sitting on my bed right now that some stinker at petsmart talked me into.

awww....c'mon Richard, enough with the excuses about a bigger place. You know your place is definitely big enough for 3 teeny tiny little kittens. I mean really, how much room can they take?

And you also know that some of the meanest, toughest he-cats out there melt at the site of a kitten....just look at Ti with Juni. Who woulda thunk?

And besides, you'll never know until you try, right?

So what're waiting for?!!?? Go get 'em before they're gone!!!
