Boy or girl, bonding with your fur baby is no easy task. Some pets make it easier, while others make you work for it. As a pet parent, you tend to try to bond with your pet depending on their likes and dislikes. If their love language is directed toward quality time together, even just watching TV together can be bonding. However, this gets difficult when your pet simply doesn’t open up.
Hilariously enough, one cat mom decided to try a different path with bonding with her male cat, Louie. Instead of staying at home and trying to get close to her cat, she’s taken to different “boy” stores and activities that she assumes her male cat might like. Although I don’t know how effective the plan is going, the series has given us plenty of laughs in the process.

Louie Goes Shopping at Lowe’s
In the video, Louie’s mom amazingly titles the moment with “Bonding with my male cat but idk what men do for fun so I took him to Lowe’s.” The entire experience lives up to the title, even if I doubt any bonding was truly had.
In the midst of walking through the aisles with the poise and grace that only a cat has, Louie takes to meowing at people and jumping onto the wooden planks for sale. Somewhere in the middle, Louie went to look for an organizer for his tools.
In true pet fashion, Louie couldn’t help but eavesdrop for some tea and stood by and stared at another group’s conversation. Carrying his mini Lowe’s bucket around the leash, Louie took his Lowe’s trip very seriously.

How Viewers Reacted
Viewers who enjoyed watching Louie’s Lowe’s shopping experience loved the moment and couldn’t help but join in on the contractor jokes. One commenter shared, “The billable hour bucket means he’s a grade A contractor. Hire this cat.” Another viewer commented, “At least take him to Home Depot so he can look through the Milwaukee stuff.”
Other viewers enjoyed the fact that Louie’s mom was able to take him out on a shopping trip with ease. “Yesss! I love to see owners walking their cats in public! I’ve always been a cat dude, and this makes me so happy,” shared another commenter.
As we wait for Louie’s Lowe’s haul, we are sure that he is still looking for the right toolbox for his equipment.
