I was just walking down the street to pick up something for lunch, when I passed by the window of a local florist's shop, and saw a big tabby cat curled up asleep in their front window. I immediately decided that if I needed flowers locally, I would give them a try.

Now, all the advertising and sales calls and whatnot in the world are highly unlikely to make me want to buy from anyone in particular. But the presence of a shop pet? That seems to do the trick immediately. *shrug*
