We’re Not Kitten; This Lady Is Great
Last week, we received word that the local shelter had been running low on food and supplies to feed the animals there, as many had turned to the shelter for help feeling their pets during quarantine. This takes place in our local grocery store.
Old Lady: “Run me over, why don’t you! My, that’s a lot of pet stuff. I’m guessing you guys have a bunch of pets.”
We have a cart full of bags of food and litter, as well as wet food.
Me: “It’s not for us. The humane society is running low on food, so we’re donating.”
Old Lady: “Oh, well, good for you.”
Her phone rings and she wanders off.
Me: “Huh. Weird.”
A few minutes later, the lady hunts us down in the dog food aisle and shoves a $20 bill into my mom’s hand. She refuses to take it back no matter what.
Old Lady: “I have pets, too, you know.”
We used that extra money to buy kitten formula and food, as it is kitten season. Faith in humanity: restored.
