I'm ambivalent towards pet shops. There're the good ones, and there'll be the bad. I can only hope that the little animals in the shop get sold off fast to loving, consistent and considerate owners so they won't feel too trapped in their surroundings.
We poked our heads into a pet shop because we saw the cutest puppies and kittens in the cages that lined the windows. I squealed so loudly that the bff took a couple of steps backwards before shushing me up amidst stares from passers-by. Hey, at least I'm going gaga over baby animals instead of Hello Kitty. Duhhhh.
The store people didn't mind us coming in to play with them. I was completely besotted with this (mackerel tabby?) kitten and the husky puppy. They're bright-eyed, alert and very playful. So fun! I probably fell in love with them too. *happy sigh* I really really really want a kitten of my own. :(

Why can't you get a kitten of your own?
They sell tabby kittens?? I bet people in Singapore would be happy to ship them some! :) I heard from a friend and a welfare group there though that there are almost no shelters anywhere in Tokyo.
jm: time. i don't have the time to be a responsible owner.
dawn: it seems to be! don't know enough about the shelters in Tokyo, but i haven't seen any strays loitering in the streets at all.
You'd rather a kitten than a pup?
Corsage: oh definitely. I like them equally when they're babies. But I prefer cats to dogs if I am to have one.
