OMG seriously, UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! My picky pain in the ass environmentally friendly kitty likes one kind of litter and one kind only which under normal circumstances is fine. Except when every damn supermarket in town DOESN\’T HAVE IT IN STOCK! I usually have ample amounts on hand, but somehow I got sidetracked and didn\’t get her any last week when I should have (when I seen it even though she didn\’t need it).
I usually grab it on the way to work since provigo/loblaws/maxi are the only chains that I am aware of that carry PC (presidents choice products) however the one I go to is small and doesn\’t have that much selection. So I wasn\’t too shocked when I discovered 2 days in a row that they were sold out. No biggie, there\’s another provigo not too far from work in the opposite direction and a loblaws not too far from that provigo either. Maxi is was out of the question because there isn\’t any in my immediate/relative area. I think that there must be a back order or something with the manufacture because this is ridiculous!
So before I left work I conferred with Donna about what the best direction was to go since she knows this end of city far better then I do. However I am beyond geographically challenged and get lost far to easily sometimes! Anyone who knows me could likely attest to this ha ha. Anyway long story short I went the WRONG way (surprise, surprise) and ended up in Cote St. Luc when I was *supposed* to be in NDG still. Thankfully it was a nice day out and walking for oh almost an hour and half didn\’t bug me. Besides I needed the exercise.
So I hopped on the 104 to Sherbrooke & Cavendish to check out the provigo I should have been at around 6 (this was pushing close to 8pm at this point). Of course they\’re sold out too, good lord! So I thought well Loblaws is about 10-15 min away on foot so why not, and of course they too are sold out of this damn litter! This is what I get for trying to be more environmentally friendly :p Granted I too prefer this brand of cat litter because its all natural, smells really nice, no dust, bio-degradable and flushable! I know the flushable aspect bothers some people but really how different is it from what *WE* as humans flush down the toilet? Nothing… Not a damn thing.
So until I can score some of this litter from somewhere, and I swear as soon as Provigo gets it back in stock i\’m buying it ALL! I have the clay stuff too in case of emergency such as this, but she hates it to the point that she chucks it out of her box! So after working 8 hours, walking for about 3 to try and find this cat litter which I never did locate I\’m not impressed! I did however score a great deal on bacon, strawberries, my favorite cereal, yogurt, bagels, steak and these butter pecan cookies that I ADORE and haven\’t seen in forever! So all was not totally lost at least for me, Heddy on the other hand… She\’ll just have to deal!
