Merchandising with Luna


Meow consumers! Get ya merchandise!

Luna on tree standing up chomping

I got the best products in the litter, I’m tellin’ ya!

We got batteries!

Sony!

I think I see a Duracell!  Yeah, we got Duracell!

But that’s not what you really want, is it?

How about a top of the line…

Shiny…

Swingline stapler!

Look at this marvelous centerpiece.  How it glows in all its crimson glory.

Purr!  I bet this thing can staple through twenty pages, no problem.

Swingline staplers got some heft to them!  They’ll last forever!

Hmm, this one is a little dusty.

But that’s not what you really want, is it?

I know what you want.

You’re hungry, ain’tcha?

Yeah, I can see it in your eyes.

You want to eat something.

Okay, I got something for you.

Luna motioning for you to come closer looking to left

Psst!  C’mere.

I’m serious.  You hungry or not?  Come over here.

Look, look!  How about some…

Dole Dippers!!!

These things are great.  Fruit covered in dark chocolate!  Low calories!

Keep ’em in your freezer!

But I got other food too!

Have you ever tried a fresh loaf of Amy’s Bread?

It’s in there somewhere.  Bread freshly baked in Manhattan proper!

But if you’re in Manhattan, and you need a lot of food, you can order, from…

luna_in_box_pile

FreshDirect!  Lots of fresh food coming to your doorstep in a heap o’ boxes!

And when you get thirsty…

luna_with_beer

Yes, you can actually order a frosty beer through FreshDirect!

Scott’s gonna appreciate the belly fur on this one.

But okay, enough with the consumables.  Have you stepped into a comfy pair of Naturalizer shoes lately?

You can order them, along with all sorts of shoes on… you guessed it…

Zappos!

I love a good Zappos box.  They have a good return policy, so Zappos boxes normally stick around for a while, and I find them cozy.

But if you don’t find the shoes, or box, or whatever you need, you could always find it on…

luna_in_amazon_box

Amazon.com!  They have absolutely everything.  You could even order paper towels.

Hold on.  I’ll try to show you the Bounty paper towels we got.  They’re around here somewhere.

luna_stuck_with_paper_towels

Nope, can’t find them.

But what a good website Amazon is.  There’s another website I’d like to suggest though.

See if you can guess this logo:

luna_with_quora_logo

I’ll give you a hint.  It’s five letters.  It’s a question and answer website.

Okay, having trouble breathing.  There’s a lot of cat hair on that pillow you know.

Luna curled on side in bed with eye wide open

So, did you guess it?  It’s Quora.com!

You don’t buy things there though.  You write stuff.  I used to write there a lot more than Scott did.

They actually elected me as a “Top Writer”!  Here’s my cat fleece, to prove it.

So I recommend you check that website out to read what he’s still writing.

But let me tell you…

These…

These are the best damn products you’re gonna find.

Gah, I think I’m stuck.

No, wait, I’m free!  But I’m a bit tired.

Luna settling down to nap on edge of table

Purrrrr.  These books are comfortable.

Maybe I should sell some books as cat pillows.

Purrrpurrpurr….

ZZZzzzzzzzz……..

  1. Awww………….. she loves the star chart. How do you get it from under her?

    Amazon is amazing, isn’t it? I can pretty much get whatever I want on that site. I’ve bought Vietnamese and Korean ingredients for Multicultural events here, all kinds of specialty pens (and I’m VERY picky about writing supplies), etc. etc. from Amazon.

    • I figured you’d notice the star chart again. Luna and I wanted to make use of the product placement, and maybe get some coupons out of it. I will say though, Amazon is a very impressive company that improves life considerably.

      So you’re a pen person, huh? I don’t know if I know other pen people. Didn’t know if I’d ever meet one!

  3. Amazon is great, but there’s nothing like the sight of 2 feet of snow in your driveway through the rear view of a nice Range Rover!

  5. Hi Scott from another cat lover and lover of the absurd. Thanks for the follow- if you look further on our blog you’ll seen many posts about cats. We’ll be back regularly to see what you’re up to.

  7. It would be great if you made these pics shareable on Facebook. Some of the close-ups here are absolutely gorgeous. Those huge eyes of hers are exceptionally beautiful.

    • Hmmm… I can probably do that 🙂 I’ll write a post-it note to let you know when I do. And thanks for the compliments on my photography. Poor Luna usually wants to close her eyes and take a nap when I see her in a good pose, but, she can’t keep them closed forever! I’m a very patient man.

      • I just mentioned this blog on my FB page (www.facebook.com/annie.shepherd.18) and the preview thumbnail that pops up is a nice close-up. If you put a Facebook “share” and/or “like” button on this page in would help expand Luna’s adoring fan base. If you make new episodes shareable/likeable I’ll post them on my FB page when they come out, and maybe others will too.

        • Look at the help Luna and I are getting 🙂 Thanks! Yes, I think the WordPress guys endearingly call that thumbnail a “blavatar”. But… there already are share and like buttons at the bottom of each post, just before the comments section… you don’t see those? Or if you missed them, I wonder if there’s a way to make them more prominent. There’s also that “Luna’s Facebook Page” box at the bottom of the main page and the individual posts, right? Showing who else are following the blog through the Facebook page. Please let me know if any of these seem not set up optimally!

          • Now I see them! I had looked twice and managed to miss them. Probably because they are wedged between the post and the comments. Is there a way of putting them under each post on the title page? I don’t know why I found it so hard to find them. I think people tend to look right at the top or right at the bottom of the page. Maybe it’s because of the grey background, which I have a bit of trouble with. Don’t change that, though—it works well for the pictures and copy and most people’s vision is not as bad as mine. Maybe I’m just dazzled by Luna’s beauty. Or maybe it’s senility creeping in.
