How I Almost got tossed out of Petco today…

How I Almost got tossed out of Petco today…

I was shopping at a local petco today for what else… cat presents for my three boys, Neko Ichi (eech), Neko Ni (Nee), and Bitoku Neko (Bee Toe Koo).

As I was meandering about in search of some awesome cat goodies I stumbled upon cat beds, scratching posts and cat towers.

I was so impressed and enamored with the cat towers that I wanted to buy them all. Some had platforms and hidden passages while others had a perch atop a tower that stood at lease five foot off the ground. I was going bonkers with excitement picturing my three boys romping around on these magnificently constructed towers.

I grabbed the biggest, most awesome cat tower box of all and started to open the box. The box was filled with all sorts of padded perches and rope clad posts and a springy feathery thing that I had no idea what it was. As I was about to pull the last item out of this massive box, a Petco employee was passing by and asked me if I needed any assistance. I said “No Thanx” as I proceeded to place the content of the box back on to the shelf and place the now empty box in my shopping cart.

The Petco Employee, whom we will call “Joe“, asked me in a gruff tone what the heck I thought I was doing. I stopped pushing the cart and turned back towards “Joe” and said, Come on Joe, we both know damned well that I am going to pay $198 for this cat tower, take it home, and while I am laboring vigorously over assembling this tower, the cats will ultimately just end up playing with the box thus, I have no need for the tower. … and I shall have saved myself $198 and tax.

I began to share with my new friend Joe, the simplicity of American Capitalism and that I do not need the tower but rather, only the box, which leaves the tower for him to sell for a nice profit. Joe bewilderingly lowered, then slowly shook his head, as he hesitantly walked towards the manager’s office. Thus, How I almost got tossed out of Petco today.

I wonder if I really had walked into Petco and started to pull the content out of a cat tower box. What would management actually do?

Oh Yea….  The story that you just read was the entertainment which occupied my weird little brain whilst strolling through Petco today. Though I did not steal any boxes, I did manage to buy my boys a few cat toys, and other cat goodies while I was there.

Purry Christmas to you and yours.
Alexandra, Bitoku, Ichi & Ni.
