"And you should really get her some toys or a cat tree or something or she'll have to make her own fun and no one wants that."

"I don't want that, it's true. Ugh, this is going to be so much stuff to carry..." But she dutifully follows Daisy toward the cat trees. "Those things are gigantic! Who's hauling that out to the car? Not me, and not you with a double armload of kitty litter."

Daisy hums thoughtfully, regarding the display, then swoops down and shuffles a box into her stack. "There, see? Not gigantic at all."

Squiiiiint. "What did you—oh my god it's a cardboard pirate ship."

"What better home could there be for Pippi Longstocking?"

Pippi Longstocking can't read, but if she did she might be planning on sneaking out later to do some reading about her namesake. She looks curiously at the box picked up, seeing a large flat object with a picture on the front of, well, a cardboard pirate ship with a cat inside. Wearing a silly pirate hat and jacket, the poor thing, but the cardboard ship itself seems like it will be amusing at the very least. And Pippi can always play with the box it came in, even if it is rather flat. 

"It's so cute... it's so dumb and so cute..." She puts down the cat carrier so as not to have a gigglefit while holding Pippi. "Please tell me the pirate costume is not included. I don't want that temptation hanging over my head."

"I can't exactly look that closely right now," she says, arms still overburdened with cat supplies. "You'll just have to take a look yourself or live with the uncertainty."

Pippi also hopes the pirate costume is not included (that is, if she could understand what the humans are saying which she does not). She too does not want April to be tempted by dressing her up. (She'll endure it if she has to, of course. But she won't like it. It's undignified.) 

"Pet ownership is an ethical nightmare," she complains, still snickering.

After a few more seconds to compose herself, she does check the box. "Pirate costume sold separately. Whew. Let's get out of here before it ambushes us."

"Sounds good to me."

Between the two of them, they manage to get all the stuff purchased and hauled back to the car.

And Pippi Longstocking watches and observes (since there's not much else she can do at the moment). In addition to the pirate ship thing and the good brand of cat food, they've gotten her bowls to eat and drink out of as well as a litter box and kitty litter. Not everything that Pippi might have wanted, but it should be enough to make April's home properly livable. She settles into the blankets in the cat carrier for a nap as they finish loading up the car and drive back.
