PetStore Humour

(I’m sure there’s places that’re slightly cheaper, but Pets at Home is fine for my purposes)
Once I’d got the necessary items – plus a new scratching post – I stopped to have a look at the rabbits and hamsters – no particular reason, just had a look before getting to the till.
One of the store assistants came up, and asked “Are you looking for anything special”. And oh dear, my mouth went into action before my brain.
“No, not really. I’m just seeing if anything appeals as a Christmas Meal treat for my cats”
The look of utter disgust on her face should leave me ashamed, but actually it was just funny as chuff.
Resurrecting the MBWLA just for you 😉
Pets at Home, providing you sign up to their VIP club and use the vouchers they regularly throw at you, is the cheapest place by far for said items (you have found the large bags of woodchip litter? I was put onto them by a mad cat rescue lady and they are excellent – white/green bag, often on good offer for purchasing 2 or 3, have spread the word and there isn’t yet a cat that disikes them – your Begal could be the first though…).
Here’s the missing ‘n’…
I haven’t used the woodchip ones – I’ve ended up using Catsan most of the time (although that’s usually on offer too, so nothing too bad)
Used to use a different one, but Bengal Piss is… Pungent, to say the least. So I’ve found Catsan at least seems to work to negate that. But I’ll give the woodchip stuff a bash at some point.
Gosh, the things one discusses on blogs, eh? 😉
